Warnings
Cobourg - Colborne - Western Northumberland County

Winter storm warning for
Cobourg - Colborne - Western Northumberland County continued
..Major winter storm affecting southern Ontario..
This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.
A storm is currently over West Virginia this morning and will push northward today giving significant snow to most of southern Ontario. The first round began Friday morning over areas north of the lower Great Lakes and last evening across eastern Ontario and ski country. The Niagara Peninsula and Ottawa have already received near 20 centimetres as of 9 AM. The second round of heavy snowfall is now rapidly spreading across the regions. Keep in mind that the entire snowfall duration will be about 36 hours but the heaviest snow will be this afternoon into this evening.
Storm totals will likely be near 30 centimetres along and east of a line from London to lake Simcoe then to Petawawa. There is potential for 40 to 50 centimetres of snow from the Niagara Peninsula through Trenton to Ottawa by the time this storm system moves out. Areas west of the London to Petawawa line should see between 10 to 20 centimetres with lesser amounts near Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Regions located near the St Lawrence Valley may expect ice pellets and a risk of freezing rain mixed with the snow this afternoon.
Behind this system strong northerly winds to 70 km/h will develop. The strong winds combined with fresh snow will cause blowing snow and whiteout conditions thereby creating dangerous driving conditions.
Travellers should be prepared to change their plans accordingly. Areas north of Lake Ontario and into the St Lawrence Valley should not be surprised by the occurrence of some thunder and lightning as this vigorous low passes by late today.
Environment Canada will continue to monitor the situation to update watches and warnings as required.
