Environment Canada says the Niagara region is expecting snow squalls to continue into this evening with up to 20 centimetres of snow expected. Here’s a list of what’s closed due to inclement weather:

• Other bus and taxi routes in the Lake Erie area as well as throughout Niagara are also affected based on routing through the storm area.
