Lake effect snow squalls are possible this evening into Thursday morning. What: Hazardous travel conditions. Near zero visibility at times in heavy snow and local blowing snow. Total local snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 cm. Intense snowfall rates up to 5 cm per hour at times. When: Beginning this evening into Thursday morning. Additional information: Strong bands of lake effect snow will develop off Lake Superior later this afternoon and may impact the area this evening into Thursday morning. There remains uncertainty, however, around how intense the snow squalls may be, how long they will remain in place and total snowfall amounts. ### Visibility may be suddenly reduced to near zero at times. Roads and walkways may be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #ONStorm.
