“Latest analysis indicates that a very intense band of lake effect snow will affect portions of the area during the day Friday. This band may extend well inland towards Haliburton and produce high snowfall rates. The band should shift south of the regions Friday night but is expected to move back north into the area on Saturday,” the national weather agency said in an advisory.
