Snow squall warnings for southwestern Ontario [Video]

Snow squalls swept through southwestern Ontario on Friday.

Environment Canada issued warning for all communities between Waterloo Region, Guelph, Elmira, Elora, Fergus and Rockwood.

The agency predicted a total snowfall of 15 to 20 centimetres.

“A burst of heavy snow and blowing snow is expected [Friday] afternoon as snow squalls push south,” Environment Canada said in their weather alert. “More stationary snow squall bands will set up [Friday] afternoon and evening, bringing higher snowfall accumulations [Friday night] into Saturday.”

Snow squall warnings have also been issued for Stratford, Woodstock, London, Grand Bend and Goderich. Those areas could get between 20 and 35 centimetres of the white stuff by Saturday night.

Communities further north and west could get as much as 60 centimetres by Saturday, including Huron East, North Perth, Mount Forest, Hanover, Saugeen Shores and Kincardine.
