After the rain washed away most of the snow, we’re getting more of it.
A Snow Squall Warning is in effect for parts of Simcoe County (Barrie/Collingwood/Hillsdale), while a Winter Travel Advisory has been issued for Muskoka.
Environment Canada says snow squalls are forecast to move into the area today and then persist into tonight.
Local snowfall accumulations of 10 to 20 cm are expected by Saturday morning with amounts up to 25 cm possible in areas that experience persistent snow squalls.
The heavy snow will combine with strong northwesterly winds resulting in reduced visibilities in heavy snow and blowing snow at times.
Travel will likely become difficult and motorists are advised to exercise caution.
These snow squalls are forecast to weaken by early Saturday morning.

As a result of the bad weather, all school buses and vans in the West Weather Zone (Collingwood, Stayner, Wasaga Beach) have been cancelled due to current poor road conditions.
Schools remain open for student learning.
