The latest winter storm is expected to move through parts of the region today.
Environment Canada has issued a Winter Weather Travel Advisory for most of the region with local snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm possible, along with occasional blowing snow.
It says flurries and brief snow squalls may develop due to a strong and gusty northwest flow off of Georgian Bay late this morning and early this afternoon, with snow squalls expected to redevelop overnight.
The Weather Network says a fast moving Alberta clipper system will bring widespread snow through the day with between 10-15 cm of snow possible in the hardest hit places.
Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Avoid travel if possible. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.
