NIAGARA – Depending on how it tracks, a winter storm may hit Niagara, making for a nasty commute to work Tuesday, though information so far suggests it may bypass the region, hitting Eastern Ontario instead.

Environment Canada says a low pressure system developing over Texas is expected to hit the Great Lakes Tuesday morning, when it will turn into a winter storm.

The storm is expected to impact Eastern Ontario and possibly Niagara region.

Snow is forecast to move north across the international border near dawn and linger for much of the day. Snowfall amounts will depend upon the exact nature of the system, but current information suggests total snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 cm.
