Snowfall Warning for Milton

By: Laura Steiner, Milton Reporter Staff

Milton is under a snowfall warning from Environment Canada.  The agency is calling for a mix of rain, and freezing rain with snow beginning later this afternoon into this evening.

Ice pellets are possible as the precipitation turns from freezing rain or ice pellets into snow. Between 15-25 cm’s of snow is possible into tomorrow morning.  The snow may reduce visibility, and cause roads and walks to become difficult to navigate.
