Winter storm warning

Heavy snow and blowing snow.

A large low pressure system originating from Texas is tracking towards Lake Superior this morning. Varying amounts of snow, mostly in the 5 to 10 cm range, have already fallen in most areas across over northwestern and North Central Ontario.

Additional amounts of 5 to locally 10 cm are expected today bringing total amounts of 15 cm or more. In addition, wind gusts to 50 km/h will result in blowing snow.

Travelling conditions will be rather hazardous with untreated surfaces snow covered and slippery. Visibilities will be reduced significantly in local blowing snow.

The snow is forecast to begin to gradually taper off later today as the low pressure system pulls away into Quebec.
