A winter storm watch is in effect for our area.
Environment Canada says a system is expected to bring snow and blowing snow Wednesday evening to Thursday afternoon.
Officials say 20 to 40 cm is possible with strong winds, adding peak snowfall rates could exceed 5 cm per hour.
Poor visibility in heavy snow and local blowing snow is also expected.
However, the weather agency says the track of the low pressure system responsible is still somewhat uncertain which will affect exact snowfall amounts.
