Snowfall warning in effect for:

A few more centimetres is expected that will give total snowfall amounts of near 15 cm from this snowstorm tracking across the region early this morning.
Motorists should allow extra time to reach their destination.
Snow will become lighter and a little more intermittent later this morning in the wake of this disturbance. The snow will become continuous again tonight as a second low pressure system approaches from the southwest.
Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.
Snowfall warnings are issued when significant snowfall is expected.
