In addition, increasing northerly winds gusting up to 70 km/h may result in areas of blowing snow giving reduced visibility.

Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery.
