Orange Warning - Winter Storm

Issued at Fri 5:31 AM Dec. 26
Issued by: Environment and Climate Change Canada
Description

Hazardous winter conditions are expected.

A second round of snow at times heavy is expected to begin tonight.

Locations: Green Bay - White Bay.

Potential snowfall: 40 to 60 cm.

Potential wind gusts: northeasterly 80 to 110 km/h with the strongest gusts occurring along the coast.

Time span: near midnight tonight until Sunday morning.

Remarks: This round of snow will be accompanied by mild temperatures near the freezing mark, resulting in dense, wet snowfall.
