Discussion:
Snow at times heavy is expected to develop this morning for areas east of Georgian Bay. Snow will taper off to flurries with a risk of freezing drizzle tonight.

Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. 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.
