Snow squalls from Georgian Bay will bring sudden very low visibility in bursts of heavy snow. Strong northwesterly winds gusting to 70 km/h will result in very low to nil visibility in blowing snow, especially in exposed areas.
Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
Snow squall watches are issued when conditions are favourable for the formation of bands of snow that could produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.
