Get your winter boots ready, a special weather statement has been issued across the region.
Environment Canada says significant snowfall is expected to start Wednesday night and continue through Friday before tapering to lighter snow or flurries on Saturday.
A developing low pressure system is expected to bring heavy snow to parts of Northwestern and far Northwestern Ontario.
The snow will be accompanied by strong winds at times which could result in reduced visibility due to blowing snow especially on Thursday and possibly Friday.
Some regions could see between 20 and 40 cm of snow by Friday evening.
There is still considerable uncertainty regarding the track of this storm and winter storm watches or snowfall warnings may be issued as the event draws closer.
