If you don't have to go anywhere, you're advised to stay home.
South Niagara is under a blizzard warning, and the rest of the region is under a winter storm warning.
South Niagara can expect heavy snow tonight, with 25 to 50 cm possible by Christmas morning.
The highest amounts are expected to be near Fort Erie.

If you do need to head out, the OPP has a few tips.
"If you are driving, make sure you give yourself lots of distance and lots of time behind the vehicle in front of you, to allow you to stop in case of a sudden slowdown."
You're also encouraged to have an emergency kit with first aid supplies, food, water and medicine.
