Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
There is a Special Weather Statement for the area:
“Strong westerly winds are expected to slowly diminish later this morning. In addition, lake effect flurries off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay are expected to extend well inland at times and may give brief periods of poor visibility due to heavier snow and blowing snow. Snowfall accumulations are not expected to be significant.
“Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.
“Strong winds may toss loose objects or cause tree branches to break. Local utility outages are possible.”
