Wintry weather is making a brief comeback in midwestern Ontario.
Environment Canada has Grey, Bruce, Huron, and Perth counties under a winter weather travel advisory.
The national weather agency is calling for 5 to 10 centimetres of snow to fall across Grey and Bruce late Monday morning through Tuesday morning. In the Bruce Peninsula, the majority of snow will fall within a few hours and by the evening, strong northwesterly winds gusting up to 70 kilometres an hour and lake effect flurries will develop.
For southern Bruce and Grey County, a band of snow mixed with rain will transition to a heavy snow as the temperature rapidly falls by the afternoon. This could drop what Environment Canada called a "quick" 5 centimetres of snowfall. In the evening, lake effect snow and strong winds will bring another 5 centimetres to the region.
"Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions," Environment Canada said. "Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop."
In Huron and Perth counties far less snow is expected.
Environment Canada is forecasting just 2 to 4 centimetres to fall as a fast moving cold front sweeps through Monday afternoon bringing heavy snow, gusty winds, and falling temperatures. Another 2 to 4 centimetres is possible in the evening and an additional couple of centimetres will fall Tuesday morning.
Flurries will slowly weaken for all of mid-western Ontario on Tuesday, Environment Canada said.
