Lake effect snow is again set to blanket parts of midwestern Ontario on Wednesday.
Environment Canada anticipates snow squalls will continue throughout the day for Bruce and Grey counties. A yellow-level snow squall warning is in effect for all of Bruce and northern Grey counties, while a yellow-level snow squall watch is in place for southern Grey County. A snow squall warning for Huron County was ended at 9 a.m.
The heaviest snow will be in Bruce County where 30 to 50 centimetres could fall by Thursday morning. Grey County could get 15 to 30 centimetres of snow.
People in Grey will get a slight break from the lake effect snow Wednesday morning before the squalls return in the afternoon and persist through the evening, Environment Canada said.
Drivers are again being reminded to prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating road conditions as visibility under the squalls will likely be suddenly reduced to near zero at times as snow rapidly accumulates.
The majority of school buses in Grey-Bruce have been cancelled for the day, as are a few routes in Huron-Perth. School buses in North Wellington are running as scheduled.
While a yellow-level cold warning that had been in place the past couple of days has ended, the entire region continues to experience below seasonal temperatures. Anyone venturing outside is urged to dress warmly in layers to protect against frostbite and hypothermia. Outdoor workers should also take regularly scheduled breaks to warm up, Environment Canada said.
