A massive Texas snowstorm that left three people dead and 80,000 without power is set to hit Southern Ontario Tuesday evening.

Environment Canada is warning Ontarians to brace for delays and traffic headaches Wednesday after the storm dumps 10 cm to 15 cm on parts of the province overnight. Meanwhile, the agency has issued warnings across the region as the “sloppy mixtures” of rain and wet snow approach.

“Wet snow and rain will be expected late this evening in Ontario,” meteorologist Geoff Coulson said. “At this point, it looks like it’s going to be a messy mix of precipitation.”

“The biggest impact from this one will be a slower drive on Wednesday to work. The Wednesday evening commute will also be affected,” he said. “Because temperatures will be around freezing point, some GTA regions will be more wet and others more slippery.”

Texans continued to take precautions on Tuesday as schools and major highways remained closed for the second straight day as whiteout conditions persisted throughout the region.
