A low storm system in Colorado is bringing “heavy” snow to parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba yesterday, Thursday.

Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for areas near Yellowgrass Lang and Lewvan, in Sask, and parts of southern Winnipeg.

The capital of Manitoba and the surrounding area are under a snow warning from Thursday morning, with the Canadian Environment Ministry warning that total accumulation could range between 10 to 15 cm.

The meteorological agency said larger amounts of snow are expected in western Manitoba near the Riding Mountains.

Kelsey McEwen, a meteorologist on CTV Your Morning, said that snowfall is expected to subside Thursday evening into Friday before moving to northwestern Ontario.

Before the Colorado low system, the area around Armstrong, Oden, and Wabakimi Park in Ontario is under a special weather statement due to a “short period” of freezing rain.

Parts of northern Ontario experienced a warm-up, with Environment Canada issuing a warning that temperatures on Wednesday were sufficient to break heat records in Armstrong, Atticokan, Greenstone, Lansdowne House, Nipigon, Upsala, and Marathon.

The weather was warm enough in Nipigon, a town located northeast of Thunder Bay, to break the previous record set in 1925, and on February 7, the meteorological agency recorded a daily temperature high of 6.2 degrees Celsius, breaking the 99-year temperature record of 5.6 degrees Celsius on that day.

McEwen said temperatures are rising in southern Ontario and Quebec, also leading to increased humidity, prompting Environment Canada to issue fog warnings for the Greater Toronto Area, Barrie, and St. Catharines in Ontario.

The warning stated: “Black ice may form in areas where temperatures are below freezing due to freezing fog.”

McEwen added that the Colorado low system is expected to move across Ontario and Quebec, moving into Atlantic Canada over the weekend.

In the west, a large portion of Alberta residents may wake up to dense fog causing near zero visibility, according to Environment Canada's fog warning, and some areas around Calgary and Edmonton may also experience freezing drizzle making surfaces slippery, with the bad weather expected to ease throughout the day, according to Environment Canada's warning.
