ENVIRONMENT CANADA
****************************
Special weather statement in effect for:
• Kirkland Lake - Englehart
• New Liskeard - Temagami
Periods of heavy snow continue today and tonight.
Total snowfall amounts of 15 to 25 cm are likely by the time the low moves out of the region overnight tonight. The risk of freezing rain is also possible this evening from Manitoulin Island to the Greater Sudbury area then to North Bay as temperatures rise close to the freezing mark.
Poor winter driving conditions from low visibility in snow and accumulating snow on untreated roads are expected. Motorists should allow extra time to reach their destination.
Current indications suggest snowfall warning criterion of 15 centimetres in 12 hours is not expected to be reached in this case.
