Up to 30 cms of snow, sometimes heavy, is expected with local blowing snow that will cause hazardous driving conditions.
Environment Canada has issued a Yellow Warning for Snowfall for Kingston and the surrounding area.
Residents are advised that travel may be hazardous, with visibility suddenly dropping to near zero at times during heavy snow. Roads and walkways are expected to become difficult to navigate as snow accumulates.
Motorists should exercise caution, allow extra travel time, and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions. Pedestrians are also urged to be careful on sidewalks and pathways.
The warning highlights the potential for quickly deteriorating travel conditions, and local authorities encourage residents to stay updated on weather reports, adjust travel plans as needed, and avoid unnecessary trips until the storm passes.
Safety is the top priority during this snowfall event.
