A special weather statement has been issued by Environment Canada for the Huntsville and Baysville area.
The first appreciable snow of the season for parts of Central and Eastern Ontario is expected. Snow will begin Thursday morning and could be mixed with rain in some areas before ending Thursday overnight.
Accumulations in the two to five range are likely. Local amounts of five to 10 centimetres are possible over higher elevations like the Haliburton Highlands.
Impacts include slushy accumulations on some roads. There is also a risk of some power outages due to brisk easterly winds potentially falling some snow-covered tree limbs onto power lines.
This snow will be due to a low pressure system that is currently centred over Illinois and will track towards Lake Erie tonight and close to Lake Ontario Thursday.
