The federal department issues snowfall warnings when 10 cm or more of snow falls within 12 hours or less.
Heavy snow has developed this morning and will continue through the day before tapering off this evening, the warning notes.
Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow, the warning noted.
