==DISCUSSION==
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WITH POOR VISIBILITY IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW
ARE EXPECTED.
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM STALLED IN HUDSON BAY IS BRINGING STRONG
NORTHEASTERLY WINDS AND ANOTHER 5 CM OF SNOW TO COMMUNITIES ALONG
THE COAST.
THE COMBINATION OF 70 KM/H WIND GUSTS AND FALLING SNOW WILL GIVE
NEAR ZERO VISIBILITIES IN FALLING AND BLOWING SNOW.
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL EASE OVERNIGHT OR MONDAY MORNING AS WINDS
DIMINISH.
TRAVEL WILL BE HAZARDOUS DUE TO NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITY. BLIZZARD
WARNINGS ARE ISSUED WHEN NEAR-ZERO VISIBILITY IN BLOWING SNOW IS
EXPECTED.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALERTS AND FORECASTS ISSUED BY
ENVIRONMENT CANADA. TO REPORT SEVERE WEATHER, SEND AN EMAIL TO
