Hamilton, Guelph, Kitchener, London, Blue Mountains, Owen Sound, Sarnia, and Hanover were predicted to see snowfall rates of three centimetres per hour at the peak of the storm, Environment Canada said.
"Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow," Environment Canada said Monday. "Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions."
