Parts of southern Ontario could get up to 20 cm of snow on Wednesday.

Environment Canada has issued a Yellow Snowfall Warning for parts of Waterloo Region, North Dumfries, Perth County and Brant County.

“An Alberta clipper will push into the region with snow beginning Wednesday morning,” the alert said on Tuesday afternoon. “The snow is expected to become more intermittent Wednesday night with steadier snowfall transitioning to periods of heavy lake effect snow. The lake effect snow may continue into Thursday with more organized snow squalls possible.”

Strong winds are also expected to cause some problems as gusts could reach 50 km/h.

The weather office warned blowing snow could be a hazard along exposed roadways.

“Travel will likely be challenging. Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Visibility will likely be reduced at times,” Environment Canada said.
