Here are the details of the snow squall watch issued by Environment Canada:

3:45 AM EST Wednesday 27 December 2017

Snow squall watch in effect for:

  • Barrie - Collingwood - Hillsdale

Snow squalls are expected to develop. Under the snow squall bands, visibilities will be significantly reduced due to the heavy snow, and snow will quickly accumulate.

Lake effect snow squalls off Georgian Bay are expected to redevelop late this afternoon and tonight.

Local snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 cm are possible by Thursday morning.

Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.

Snow squall watches are issued when conditions are favourable for the formation of bands of snow that could produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.
