The weather system will intensify as it moves in, and forecasters are warning that travel could become hazardous. Roads, highways, and sidewalks may be icy and slippery , so if you don’t have to be on the roads, it’s best to avoid travel. The storm is expected to create reduced visibility, blowing snow, and potential transportation delays.
Right now, the rain-snow transition line is expected to stretch from Batchawana Bay northeast towards Earlton . Areas north of this line will see the heaviest snowfall, while locations along the transition zone could experience a mix of freezing rain and snow , making conditions even more dangerous. However, this line could still shift, which would impact how much snow different areas receive.
If you’re in the affected region, now is the time to prepare . Make sure you have essentials stocked up, including food, water, flashlights, and extra blankets in case of power outages. If you must travel, check road conditions before heading out and keep an emergency kit in your vehicle.
Authorities are urging everyone to stay updated with the latest weather alerts. You can monitor Environment Canada’s warnings and reports or follow updates using #ONStorm on social media. If you experience severe weather, you can also report it to Environment Canada directly.
Stay safe, stay warm, and be prepared for whatever this storm brings!
