orange watch - winter storm - in effect Winter storm expected. What: Total snowfall amounts of 30 to 50 cm Strong northerly winds and reduced visibility in heavy snow and blowing snow. When: Beginning late overnight, continuing through Thursday and Friday, and ending from west to east Friday night. Additional information: Strong northerly winds are expected to develop on Thursday night and easing through Friday night. The strong winds will cause blowing snow that could lead to near zero visibility at times in combination with heavy snowfall. There is still some uncertainty with the low pressure system's track and therefore the swath of heaviest snow. Total snowfall amounts of 30 to 50 cm are possible with the potential for local amounts exceeding 50 cm. ### Roads and walkways may be very difficult to navigate. Visibility may be suddenly reduced to near zero at times. Road closures are possible. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
