Environment Canada has issued a winter weather travel advisory for the Sault Ste. Marie area due to heavy snowfall and reduced visibility. Snow squalls are expected to develop off Lake Superior, bringing 5 to 10 cm of snow with higher amounts possible in some areas.
It replaces a snow squall watch that was in effect earlier."Snow squalls are expected to develop off Lake Superior this evening, however, they should initially affect areas north of Sault Ste. Marie," the advisory said,
In addition, westerly winds gusting to 50 km/h may result in local blowing snow, predominantly for exposed areas near Lake Superior. Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow.
