Lots of snow out there!
A Snow Squall Watch is in effect for the area:
“Snow squalls are expected to develop off Lake Huron due to strong westerly winds gusting up to 60 km/h. Visibility is expected to be near zero at times due to snow and blowing snow. Winds will weaken tonight as a ridge of high pressure moves into the area bringing an end to the snow squalls.
“Snowfall amounts are expected to be highly variable across the area as snow squall bands are expected to shift considerably.
“Travel may be hazardous. Road closures are possible.
“Consider rescheduling travel and outdoor activities.”
