School buses have been cancelled across Simcoe County. Read more here.
A Snowfall Warning remains in effect but will end this morning. That’ll be overtaken by a Snow Squall Watch:
“Snow squalls off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay are expected to develop this afternoon or early this evening. Snow squalls are expected to weaken Friday morning. Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.”
