There's also a Les Suêtes wind warning for Inverness County - Mabou and north through the mid-afternoon with gusts up to 90 km/h.
Simpkin said once Wednesday's storm moves out, the temperatures will drop. On Thursday, another 5 cm to 10 cm of snow is expected to begin falling in the morning with the bulk of the snow in the afternoon. That could make for a slippery evening commute.
