'Snow streamer' moves across the region with snow squall warning still in effect

A snowsquall warning is in effect for southern Ontario, stretching from London-Middlesex, parts of Oxford County, Lambton County, Huron-Perth, including Goderich and Stratford, through to Kincardine, Saugeen Shores, Owen Sound, Barrie and Collingwood.

According to Environment Canda, intense snow squalls are moving through Tuesday morning with snowfall accumulations upwards of 50cm.

"Northwesterly flow off Lake Huron will continue to result in intense snow squalls over the next couple days. As is common with snow squalls, snowfall amounts will be highly variable," said Environment Canada.

Areas closer to Lake Huron could exceed 50cm by Tuesday morning with peak snowfall rates of five to 10 cm per hour.

Poor to zero visibility is expected at times with power outages also possible because of the heavy, wet snow.
