Snow , heavy at times, continues tonight in the wake of a sharp arctic cold front that is now well south of the region.
A general total snowfall near 15 centimetres is expected by Friday morning.
6 centimetres of snow has been reported at Timmins as of 10 PM.
Motorists should be prepared for hazardous winter driving conditions from low visibility in areas of heavier snow, and accumulating snow on untreated highways.
