Snow continues to fall throughout most of Midwestern Ontario and Environment Canada says more is likely to fall/accumulate throughout the evening hours Tuesday.
It is possible that we could see upwards of 10 to 20 cm but conditions will still be quite poor due to gusting winds of 70-80 km/hr that could create widespread whiteout conditions in many areas.
Officials say the conditions should improve later this evening as the lake effect bands begin to shift north away from the Huron and Perth regions although blowing snow will still be an issue due to gusting winds.
Conditions in Huron County are especially bad this evening. Huron OPP have closed all the roads in the county.
The SNOW SQUALL WARNING continues for the following:
WINGHAM - BLYTH - NORTHERN HURON COUNTY LISTOWEL - MILVERTON - NORTHERN PERTH COUNTY GODERICH - BLUEWATER - SOUTHERN HURON COUNTY AND STRATFORD - MITCHELL - SOUTHERN PERTH COUNTY.
