Snow squall warning

Snow Squall or Snowball Fight? Stay Cozy this Weekend!

Brace yourselves, Southern Muskoka! A snow squall is about to turn your cozy weekend into a snowy adventure. Discover how much snow to expect and how to prepare!

Brrr... winter is making a grand, slippery entrance! Southern Muskoka and the northern stretches of Simcoe County are under a snow squall warning, so grab your hot cocoa and snuggle up! Starting this evening and swirling through until Sunday morning, weather experts are predicting snowfall amounts that could climb as high as **30 cm**! That's enough to build a snowman and then some!

But wait, there's more! Areas near the picturesque Georgian Bay, especially the towns of Parry Sound and Huntsville, are in for what’s been described as 'intense' snowfall. Can you imagine waking up to a winter wonderland? Just remember that this fare comes with a side of reduced visibility as snow squalls march through the region, so if you're planning to venture out, it might be wise to summon your inner penguin—waddle and slide your way around safely!

And while you're cozied up at home, don’t forget that those snow squalls are packing a punch! From Sault Ste. Marie to St. Joseph Island, the forecast looks like a flurry of activity, with significant snow accumulation on the agenda. It's important to plan accordingly for travel, as those roads will turn into a snow globe of chaos. Take it slow out there, folks!

As we cozy indoors, let’s marvel at winter's wonders: Did you know that snowflakes can actually be classified? Depending on their formation, they can be categorized from simple plates to complex dendrites! Not only that, but the heaviest snowstorm recorded in Canada was a staggering **100 cm** of snow in a single day back in 1971! Just a little fun as we brace ourselves for this snowy weekend adventure!
