Significant snowfall expected tonight into Thursday.
Snow is expected to begin this evening. The heaviest snow is most likely overnight into Thursday morning. Northwesterly winds may also combine with the snow to create blowing and drifting snow in exposed areas.
Total snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 cm are expected by Thursday afternoon. Though the snow is not forecast to reach warning criteria, low visibilities in heavy snow will create hazardous travel conditions.
This snow is the result of a low pressure system that will track through eastern Ontario into Quebec.
