OXFORD COUNTY - We have quite the snow storm heading our way.
Environment Canada has issued a winter storm warning for Oxford and Brant with the possibility of 15 to 20 centimeters of snow.
Warning Preparedness Meteorologist Steven Flisfeder says it should start at around 4:00 p.m. this evening, give or take a couple of hours. He adds the snow will become heavier as the evening progresses.
"We could get into some heavy snowfall rates which will reduce visibility quite significantly through the evening hours. That intensity will increase even further through the late evening, after the midnight period. So anybody who is out on the roads for Friday evening activities may want to reconsider their plans."
Environment Canada says we could see snowfall amounts of up to six centimeters per hour. We can also expect blowing snow, so the roads could become quite messy out there.
The snow should end tomorrow morning and Flisfeder says we're in for mild temperatures this weekend.
"Temperatures are going to be on the positive side. A few degrees above the zero-degree mark so you'll start to see a bit of (snow) melt. Something to keep in mind for anybody who has to do the morning shoveling tomorrow morning, the snow will start to melt and become quite dense so give your back a break if you have to be out shoveling in the morning."
He says the mild temperatures should continue into next week. Environment Canada is also tracking another small system that could pass through the area on Sunday or Monday.
