Environment Canada at 11:39pm yesterday warned of strong winds gusting 70 to 90kmh for Tuesday morning.
It said as much colder arctic air floods in Monday night, snow is expected to rapidly develop with a general snowfall of 5 to 10 cm expected during Tuesday morning. A few localities may receive 10 to 15 cm of snow.
Strong southwest winds are expected to develop with the passage of a sharp Arctic cold front. Winds will veer to the west tonight then slowly start to ease Tuesday.
With the arrival of snow Monday night, blowing and drifting snow especially in exposed areas will cause a sudden return to winter driving conditions.
Please expect reduced visibility in blowing snow.
High winds may toss loose objects or cause tree branches to break. Local utility outages are possible.
