ENVIRONMENT CANADA
*************************
Snow squall warning in effect for:
- Barrie - Collingwood - Hillsdale
- Midland - Coldwater - Orr Lake
- Orillia - Lagoon City - Washago
Snow squalls off Georgian Bay today.
Hazards: Heavy snow and blowing snow. Snowfall accumulations exceeding 15 cm in 12 hours are possible.
When: Snow squalls weakening this afternoon.
Impacts: Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Travel may also be hazardous due to very low visibility in bursts of heavy snow and blowing snow.
Discussion: Strong and gusty west to northwest winds in the wake of a sharp cold front are ushering in fresh arctic air resulting in snow squalls across the region.
Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance. Road closures are possible.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
