A winter storm warning is still in effect this morning for the Niagara Region.
Heavy snow is expected to continue this morning.
Total snowfall amounts of 25 to 35 centimetres are expected before snow tapers off early this afternoon.
Environment Canada says we can expect northeast winds gusting near 50 km/h resulting in very poor visibility in blowing snow.
Even higher amounts of snow may be possible, up to 40 centimetres, in some locations due to extra moisture coming off Lake Ontario.
Locally higher amounts may also occur on the higher elevations of the escarpment.
Local blowing snow may persist until this afternoon.
The weather office says we should consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.
