Blizzard snow warnings in Ontario

Blizzard snow warnings in Ontario

Lake-effect snow is underway again in Ontario's snowbelts, but with a blizzard warning this time, and more widespread, gusty winds.
The setup for hazardous, lake-effect snow squalls in Ontario's snowbelt regions prompted Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to issue blizzard warnings for several areas surrounding Lake Huron, including Owen Sound, Blue Mountains and Saugeen Shores.

Lake-effect snow squalls off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay will continue Thursday in the wake of a strong cold front. For areas near Lake Huron, blizzard conditions likely to continue into Thursday morning.Strong, westerly winds gusting from 50-80 km/h will accompany the snow squalls, resulting in widespread, blowing snow and significantly reduced visibility. That will make travel quite treacherous, if not impossible. The hardest-hit regions could see 30-50+ cm of snow.

This is some weird start to this Winter. In Canada it’s primarily lake effects with admixture of heavy snowfalls alternating with rain, whereas as in my neck of woods further north east, it has been relatively mild.

When people call Fahrenheit and Gallon, I have to always run a rough calculation in my head to understand what it really means

Ironically, I understand lbs better than kilograms
