If you don't know the term Alberta clipper, you might after today.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement stating the weather system may bring 5-10 centimetres of snow as the day goes on, something the forecaster warns could snarl the afternoon commute.
But first, this morning's conditions.
The morning commute is set to be problem-free, save for normal congestion, but driving conditions will deteriorate throughout the day.
The OPP is already warning motorists to make sure they're prepared for a slippery drive in the snow later today.
So, what's this Alberta clipper all about? According to Environment Canada it's a fast-moving weathermaker that will drop snow everywhere from the Muskoka region to southern Ontario. The snow's set to start falling sometime this morning, the agency says.

"Driving conditions will deteriorate after the snow arrives this morning, motorists should expect to deal with poor winter driving conditions," Environment Canada says, noting they're monitoring the system as it develops.
"Occasional blowing snow may also contribute to the poor winter driving conditions."
Hamilton may get as much as 10 centimetres of snow. If that's not bad enough, the system will drag in some cold Arctic air in its wake, making for frigid evening temperatures.
Currently, the temperature is around -6 C with a wind chill of -10 C but as the snow falls the mercury is set to rise to -1 C.
