Blowing snow advisory in effect for:

Poor visibility in snow and blowing snow is expected today and tonight.
A strong low pressure system is forecast to track across northeastern Ontario today with winds strengthening throughout the day. Strong southwesterly winds gusting up to 70 km/h are expected to develop this morning.
These strong winds will whip up any freshly fallen snow leading to near whiteout conditions at times in blowing snow today and tonight.
Conditions are expected to improve Saturday morning as the winds ease.
Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.
Blowing snow advisories are issued when winds are expected to create blowing snow giving poor visibility to 800 metres or less for at least 3 hours.
