Snow continues over much of southern Ontario, associated with a low
pressure system now over New York state.  The snow is locally heavy,
reducing visibility at times to a few hundred metres.  For regions to
the south of a rough line from Lake St Clair through lake Simcoe to
Petawawa, total snowfall amounts near 15 centimetres or more are
expected and thus a snowfall warning continues for this area.  To the
north of this line, snowfall amounts are expected to be just below
warning criteria, likely between 10 and 15 centimetres for most
locales.

The snow will gradually end from west to east as the low moves
eastward.  It has already ended over Windsor, will end over the
remainder of southwestern Ontario and regions adjacent to Lake Huron
later this afternoon, over the greater Toronto, Niagara, Barrie and
Muskoka regions by early this evening, and over eastern Ontario
including the Ottawa Valley area by about midnight.

Listen for further statements.  Additional information may also be
found by consulting the latest public forecast.  The next public
forecast will be issued by 5 AM.
