Parts of southwestern Ontario are getting a cold blanket of the fluffy white stuff as strong snow squalls come off Lake Huron.
Environment Canada has issued snow squall watches for areas including London, Parkhill, most of Middlesex County, north to Goderich and south to Watford and eastern Lambton County.
“The snow squall watch will likely be upgraded to a warning this afternoon, highlighting the increased threat of a snow squall activity tonight and tomorrow,” says Peter Kimbell, warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada.
The squalls are expected to last through to Wednesday evening, with snowfall amounts from 15 to 25 centimetres in some areas.
The national weather agency warns that higher snowfall amounts are possible.
“Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow,” the weather agency warns.
