Snowfall amounts of 8 to 12 cm combined with westerly winds gusting to 60 km/h may create areas of blowing snow giving reduced visibility. “The most intense activity is expected late this afternoon and through the evening hours when snowfall rates of a few centimetres per hour will be possible at times.
