Snowfall with total amounts of 25 to 30 cm is expected.
Snow, heavy at times, will continue this evening. Northeast winds off of Lake Ontario combined with the higher terrain of the Niagara escarpment will lead to local snowfall enhancement from near Hamilton eastward across northern Niagara. These areas could see total snowfall amounts of 25 to 30 cm by early Tuesday morning.
