Environment Canada issued a yellow snowfall warning for Waterloo Region.
According to the national weather agency, a low-pressure system is moving into the province, bringing upwards of 10 to 20 centimetres of snow that could fall beginning Wednesday night.
The snow is expected to continue into Thursday afternoon, before tapering off in the evening.
A sharp temperature drop is also anticipated as the storm blows in, bringing bitter cold wind chills. Drivers should expect deteriorating travel conditions due to the snow accumulation.
The City of Cambridge declared a snow event that will start at 7:00 a.m. on Jan. 15 due to the storm. This means for 24 hours, on-street parking is banned, and sidewalks will be cleared by 36 hours after the event.
“Residential roads are typically not salted, so snowpack will remain on the surface,” the municipality said.
