==DISCUSSION==
POOR VISIBILITY IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE
CHALLENGING TRAVEL CONDITIONS TONIGHT.
VISIBILITY MAY BE SUDDENLY REDUCED IN HEAVIER SNOW BANDS AND BLOWING
SNOW, AND RAPID ACCUMULATION ON ROADS IS POSSIBLE.
GUSTY WINDS MAY ALSO MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY FOR
HIGH-PROFILE VEHICLES.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE OVERNIGHT AS WINDS GRADUALLY DIMINISH.
TRAVEL WILL LIKELY BE HAZARDOUS DUE TO NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITY. ROAD
CLOSURES ARE POSSIBLE. CONSIDER POSTPONING NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL
UNTIL CONDITIONS IMPROVE. IF DRIVING, TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS, SLOW DOWN
AND MAINTAIN A SAFE FOLLOWING DISTANCE.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY
ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO
ABSTORM(AT)EC.GC.CA, CALL 1-800-239-0484 OR POST REPORTS ON X USING
