  • White River – Dubreuilville

Heavy snow tonight and Thursday.

Snow will begin near Lake Superior near midnight and spread eastward towards the Quebec border by Thursday morning. Snowfall amounts in the 15 to 20 cm range can be expected before the snow tapers off late Thursday or Thursday night. Areas closer to the shores of Lake Superior will receive slightly less snowfall as the precipitation will begin as rain and only change over to snow Thursday night.

Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
