The northern Durham region was forecast to experience dangerous snow squalls and blizzard conditions with total local snowfall amounts of 25 to 50 cm, according to Environment Canada.
The dangerous conditions are expected to continue into Tuesday afternoon.
In southern Durham, snow squalls and blowing snow are forecast for Tuesday morning, said Environment Canada in an yellow snow squall warning issued at 6:19pm yesterday.
Near zero visibility at times in heavy snow and blowing snow is expected with total local snowfall amounts of 10 to 20 cm.
Lake effect snow squalls off Georgian Bay have developed in the wake of a sharp cold front and will continue to affect the area. Blowing snow and poor visibility will be the primary concern as strong northwesterly wind gusts are expected.
Travel will likely be hazardous. Visibility will likely be suddenly reduced to near zero at times. Road closures are possible.
Non-essential travel and outdoor activities should be avoided, warned the weather agency.
