Forecasts right now suggest Oxford County will not get hit as hard some other areas of the province with a weekend winter storm brewing.
OXFORD COUNTY - Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for most of Southern Ontario including Oxford County.
They are warning of heavy snow starting on Friday night and frigid temperatures on Sunday. The latest analysis suggests that snowfall amounts will range from 10 to 15 cm near Lake Erie to 2 to 5 cm north of highway 7.
This means Oxford County will not get hit as hard as places closer to Lake Erie. Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Also, surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery.
Bitterly cold temperatures and moderate winds of 40 gusting to 60 km/h will accompany the snow resulting in wind chill values in the minus 20 to minus 30 range that will continue into Monday morning. Blowing snow will also be an issue Saturday resulting in reduced visibility at times.
There is still much uncertainty with the track of this winter storm. A more northerly track would increase snowfall amounts while a more southerly track would decrease amounts. Regardless of the track, very cold wind chill values can be expected into Monday morning.
