Barrie — The weather-blender has been re-charged and returns to the region. A series of snow squalls are setting up to blanket the region today into Thursday. Environment Canada has issued snow squall warnings for part of Grey-Bruce-Owen Sound and watches for much of Simcoe County. The weather service says we can expect the winds to shift this afternoon across Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, bringing white-out conditions. This latest blast of winter could bring 10-15 centimetres by Thursday morning. As the squalls taper off tomorrow afternoon, they may leave another 2-4 centimetres behind throughout the day Thursday.
