A nasty snowstorm is expected to hit Milton and the surrounding area on Friday night.
Environment Canada says we could say up to 30 cm of snow, with snowfall rates up to 6cm an hour. Visibility on the roads could also be hampered with heavy winds and blowing snow.
Here’s what the national weather agency has to say:
A Texas low is expected to bring heavy snow and strong winds to a large swath of southern Ontario. Snow will begin this evening and quickly become heavy at times. Heavy snow in combination with strong easterly winds will create significantly reduced visibility and hazardous travel conditions.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow.
We’ll keep you updated should anything change. Read Friday’s forecast here.
As always, drive smart and be safe!
