A snow squall warning has been issued by Environment Canada:
Snow squalls are forecast to develop in our listening area this afternoon, bringing heavy snowfall and dangerous travel conditions to the area. The lake effect squalls, originating from Lake Huron, are expected to persist through Wednesday night and may continue into Thursday and Thursday night.
Hazards include:
Heavy snowfall, with accumulations of 10 to 20 cm by Thursday evening, and additional accumulations possible Thursday night.
Blowing snow, with strong northwest winds gusting up to 60 km/h, reducing visibility significantly.
These conditions will result in rapidly changing weather, with clear skies quickly turning to heavy snow in localized areas. Drivers may experience sudden reductions in visibility and treacherous road conditions.
Authorities urge residents to consider postponing non-essential travel until the squalls subside. Be prepared for rapidly deteriorating conditions and avoid unnecessary risks. For the latest updates, monitor local forecasts and heed warnin
