“Snow at times heavy and local blowing snow. Amount 15 to 25 cm. Wind northeast 40 km/h gusting to 60. High minus 10. Wind chill near minus 23.”
That’s the official forecast for Sunday. A Winter Storm Warning is issued.
The forecast conditions appear to meet the criteria for a BLIZZARD — “winds of 40 km/hr or greater are expected to cause widespread reductions in visibility to 400 metres or less, due to blowing snow, or blowing snow in combination with falling snow, for at least 4 hours.”
Be prepared. Stay inside. Prepare for power cuts. Make sure your devices are fully charged, you have supplies for the duration of any power cut, and check up on any vulnerable friends and neighbours.
