Heavy, blowing snow is expected to hit parts of Ontario today and tomorrow, with some areas getting up to 60 centimetres.

Environment Canada has issued snow squall warnings for regions spanning from Listowel to the west, Bracebridge to the north and Belleville to the east.

Communities along the shore of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay and down to Barrie are expected to get the most snow, while others could see between 15 and 40 centimetres.

The agency says snow squalls can dramatically reduce visibility and make it difficult to travel in some areas.

Environment Canada has also put out advisories predicting five to 10 centimetres of snow for areas around Toronto, including Brampton and Oakville, and stretching west past Stratford.

That snowfall is expected to gradually peter out this afternoon.
