Today through Saturday.

Discussion:
A strong snow squall band will continue affect portions of the region today into Saturday. The heaviest snowfall is expected tonight as this snow squall may lock in and become stationary for several hours. Local snowfall amounts of 60 cm are possible by Saturday afternoon, with higher amounts possible if snow squalls lock over one area. Northwest winds gusting up to 60 km/h can result in blowing snow and significantly reduced visibility.

Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility. Road closures are possible.
