Freezing Drizzle Advisory Continues in Thunder Bay – Stay Alert!
Good afternoon, Thunder Bay! If you’re planning to step out today, you’ll want to hear this. A freezing drizzle advisory remains in effect, and conditions are expected to stay tricky well into the evening. This means we’re dealing with that sneaky, thin layer of ice on roads, sidewalks, and parking lots—almost invisible but incredibly slippery. Drive carefully, walk cautiously, and let’s avoid any unnecessary trips to the ER today!
Earlier this afternoon, temperatures were hovering around -4°C, but with the wind chill, it felt more like -11°C. Add gusty northeast winds blowing at 20 to 40 km/h, and you’ve got yourself a wintry cocktail of cold and slippery. These winds are expected to ease a bit later, but the chill isn’t going anywhere soon. Tonight, the temperature is forecast to drop to -11°C, with a bone-chilling wind chill of -18°C. It’s safe to say the cold will hold its grip as we move into tomorrow.

Looking ahead, Tuesday will remain overcast, with a slight 30% chance of flurries and a high of -7°C. Wind chills will persist, so layering up remains the best defense. By Wednesday, you can expect a mix of sun and clouds, but don’t let that fool you—it’ll still be freezing, with lows dipping as far as -26°C at night.
Now, a bit of practical advice: If you’re driving, reduce your speed and increase your following distance. Freezing drizzle can create ice patches that are nearly impossible to spot until it’s too late. Pedestrians, opt for footwear with excellent traction and walk with care. And for anyone planning to shovel snow, warm up those muscles beforehand—it’s easier than recovering from a strain.
Let’s not underestimate the power of winter’s icy touch. Stay warm, stay safe, and keep an eye on the changing weather. Thunder Bay’s winters are no stranger to surprises, and today is a prime example of how quickly conditions can change. Stay vigilant!
