The snow just keeps on coming!
A Yellow Warning – Snow Quall is in effect for the area:
“Lake effect snow will be accompanied by northwesterly winds gusting 50 to 60 km/h. As a result, blowing snow will further reduce visibility. Conditions are expected to improve this evening. There is some uncertainty with the exact locations of snow squalls that will develop and snowfall accumulations may be quite variable across the region.
“Travel will likely be hazardous. Visibility will likely be suddenly reduced to near zero at times. Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
“Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.”
