Remarks: A Pacific low pressure system will make landfall early Thursday morning, in its wake we expect close to 15 cm of snow. Snowfall will intensify near noon and will ease as the system departs into the interior.
Rapidly accumulating snow will make travel difficult. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
