The Kingston area, including spots like Odessa and the Frontenac Islands, is under a yellow snowfall alert. This new color-coded system, launched late last month, uses yellow as the least severe warning level. It covers everything from alerts to advisories.

Expect 10 to 20 cm of snow, starting tonight and lasting until Wednesday evening. Visibility might drop due to heavy snow and wind. Environment Canada says lake effect snow will hit first, followed by an Alberta clipper bringing more snow on Wednesday. By Wednesday evening, it could switch to rain or light snow.

Travel won't be easy. Roads and sidewalks will likely be slippery and hard to navigate. If you're heading out, plan for extra time and be careful.

This isn't just about inconvenience. Snow like this can disrupt daily life, from school closures to delayed public transport. It's a reminder that winter in Canada means being prepared for sudden weather changes.
