Environment Canada has issued a weather advisory for parts of Ontario, saying some areas in cottage country could get another significant burst of snow Wednesday after last weekend’s blizzard that downed trees and power lines and left hundreds of drivers stranded.

The agency said Wednesday morning that Huntsville could see up to 14 centimetres of snow accumulation while Bracebridge, Gravenhurst and northern Kawartha Lakes could get up to 10 centimetres through the evening.

The advisory comes after a snowstorm in the region forced a temporary closure of Highway 11 between Orillia and Huntsville over the weekend. Nearby Gravenhurst had declared a state of emergency after it was buried under more than a metre of snow.

Provincial police said in a statement that although Highway 11 has reopened, the force is urging the public to stay alert as more snowfall is expected in the Huntsville area.
