The snow is expected to begin Friday night and persist into Saturday afternoon.

“The snow will change to ice pellets along the Eastern Shore Saturday morning. Gusty northeast winds accompanying the snow may cause reduced visibility at times in blowing snow,” the warnings states.

“Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.”

Thursday’s warning came one day after Environment Canada issued a special weather statement about the upcoming storm and the possibilities of a significant snowfall.
