A major winter storm is expected to hit Wednesday evening, bringing 20 to 40 cm of snow, with peak snowfall rates possibly exceeding 5 cm per hour. Strong northeasterly winds gusting up to 50 km/h will create blowing snow and poor visibility.
The storm is expected to taper off by Thursday afternoon, but hazardous travel conditions are likely. The exact snowfall amounts depend on the storm’s track, which remains uncertain. Travel should be avoided if possible.
