Alberta Clipper hits Kenora

Motorists might want to give themselves a few extra minutes to get to get around town today.

An Alberta clipper continues to blow across northwestern Ontario.

About 15 centimeters of snow has fallen so far and another five more are expected throughout the day.

Crews are currently working to clear area roads and highways.

Highways in the Kenora area are described as snow-covered, with some slippery sections and poor visibility.

Meanwhile, Severe Weather Specialist Geoff Coulson says he expects the snow to hang around for the rest of winter.

Coulson says another weather system could bring another five to ten centimeters of snow to the Kenora area on Monday or Tuesday.
