Environment Canada issues blizzard warnings when visibility is expected to dip below 400 metres for at least six hours.
Travel is expected to be “hazardous due to reduced visibility,” the alert states.
Gusts of up to 80 km/h were forecast, though conditions were expected to improve later in the day as winds weaken.
