Snowsquall Watch Issued

Friday, 13 January 2012 08:36

A snow squall watch has been issued this afternoon by Environment Canada. The weather office says conditions are ripe for lake effect snow to blow in our direction, which could amount to another 10-20cms in areas that include Oxford and Brant Counties, along with London-Middlesex and Huron-Perth. The low will drop to -8 overnight. Those squalls could continue for the first half of Saturday as well, adding a possible 5-10cms. It will let up later on in the day, before turning very cold, down to -15 Saturday night.
