Winds of up to 60 km/h are expected to arrive with the storm, creating reduced visibility which will make travel hazardous.

After the storm comes to an end, Lake effect snow could hit areas closer to Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.

Environment Canada is advising drivers to prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
