Hamilton is getting hit with another snowstorm tonight

Not even a week after Hamilton was hit with a hefty snow and ice storm, the city is about to see another sizeable dump of wicked winter weather. 

An advisory from Environment Canada warns that Hamilton will see nearly 5 centimetres of snow and ice pellets beginning Monday afternoon and lasting into the evening.

The storm will bring peak snowfall rates of 2 to 4 centimetres per hour, particularly during evening commuting times which may cause reduced visibility and slippery surfaces. 

The snow is expected to transition into light rain or drizzle around midnight tonight, with a risk of freezing rain this evening as well. 

Environment Canada asks individuals to prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating weather conditions, and take extra care while walking or driving in affected areas.
