SD&G – Driving could be tricky on the way home from work today (Jan. 19).
Environment Canada has issued a snow squall watch for Cornwall and SD&G with squalls expected to start this afternoon.
The weather agency expects near-zero visibility at times in heavy snow, which will be whipped up by wind gusts of up to 70 kilometers an hour.
Around 5 to 10 centimeters (2 to 4 inches) of snow is expected this afternoon and through tonight.
“While heavy snow is expected to fall mainly during the afternoon period, blowing snow may continue to persist overnight. Travel may be hazardous. Visibility may be suddenly reduced to near zero at times,” the agency said.
