WEATHER ALERT
ENVIRONMENT CANADA
*************************
Snow squall warning in effect for:

  • Barrie - Collingwood - Hillsdale

Snow squalls are expected to taper off by this afternoon.

A snow squall is coming onshore between Collingwood and Wasaga Beach and extending inland.

Further snowfall amounts of 5 cm are possible.

Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility in some locations. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.

Snow squall warnings are issued when bands of snow form that produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
