Snowy conditions, frigid temps persist in midwestern Ontario

More snow is set to fall across midwestern Ontario Tuesday.

Snow squalls will bring 10 to 15 additional centimetres to Grey and Bruce counties by the evening, while Huron and Perth will get another 5 to 10 centimetres by Wednesday morning, according to Environment Canada.

A yellow-level snow squall warning is in effect for Grey County, Bruce Peninsula, and South Bruce.

Strong winds will also continue to be an issue, whipping up the snow, causing drifting and a windchill that make the temperature outside feel like it is in the low minus 20s.

Drivers are once again being advised to prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.

The snow comes as people continue to dig out from Monday's blizzard.

Many roads across the region remained closed Tuesday morning including Bruce Rd. 19 between Walkerton and Chesley and Highway 21 from Amberley to Port Elgin.

All school buses are cancelled in Grey-Bruce and North Wellington, as are most in Huron and Perth counties. The Bluewater District School Board and Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board have also closed all of their schools for the day.

Environment Canada is forecasting another system packing up to 10 centimetres of snow to move through the region Wednesday.
