Sarnia

Another April Snowfall On Tap

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Sarnia-Lambton and most of southern Ontario.

The latest battle between spring and a very stubborn winter is setting up for today and tonight across southern Ontario. A large Alberta Clipper approaching the Great Lakes from the northwest will spread a large area of snow into the region, with the snow expected to arrive in southwestern Ontario this morning or early afternoon.

Snowfall amounts will range from near 2-4 cm in Sarnia-Lambton, to 4-8 cm further north.

As a warm front associated with the clipper moves in, the snow will change over to rain this afternoon. There may be a brief period of ice pellets or freezing rain during the transition from snow to rain. Most areas should receive a total of 5-15 mm of rain before the rain ends on Monday.

Driving conditions are expected to deteriorate after the snow arrives. Untreated roads may become snow covered and slippery. Motorists should be prepared for winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly.
