*************************
Snowfall warning in effect for:

  • Barrie - Collingwood - Hillsdale

Significant snowfall continues tonight into Wednesday.

Additional snowfall amounts of 5 cm are possible tonight through Wednesday morning. An additional 10 to 15 cm will be possible for higher terrain.

Strong northerly winds gusting near 60 km/h are possible today, particularly near Georgian Bay.

This snowfall is a result of a strengthening low pressure system expected to move through eastern Ontario into Quebec today into Wednesday.

Precipitation associated with this low pressure system is expected to move east of the area by Wednesday afternoon.

Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.

Snowfall warnings are issued when significant snowfall is expected.

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.
