Snow squalls currently occurring.
What : Reduced visibilities in areas of heavy snow and blowing snow. 10 to 20 cm of snow; possibility of heavier accumulations locally.
When : Beginning this morning and continuing through tonight.
Additional information: Snow squalls off Lake Huron due to strong westerly winds gusting up to 60 km/h are ongoing. Visibilities are expected to be near zero at times due to snow and blowing snow.
