THUNDER BAY – The Winter Storm is starting to hammer on Thunder Bay. Many business are closing early, and roads across the city are brutal to drive on. Visibility is massively decreased.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect. 15 to 20 cm of snow is expected and it is still coming down hard.
Snow at times heavy associated with an Alberta clipper has spread over regions west of Lake Superior. The heavy snow combined with strong gusty winds will produce low visibilities in blowing snow today and tonight. Total snowfall accumulations of 10 cm have been reported in Thunder Bay as of 2:00 PM and an additional 10 cm is possible by Friday morning.
