Snowstorm Continues to Pound Southern Ontario
So, what’s happening right now across southern Ontario feels like winter showing up with full force and refusing to let up. The region has already been hit hard over the past few days, and now even more snow is being pushed in, creating another round of challenging conditions for residents.
Snowfall warnings have been issued by Environment Canada, and they stretch across a huge swath of the province—from Sault Ste. Marie in the northwest, all the way east toward Chalk River, and down south into the Lake Erie area. These warnings call for anywhere between five and 20 centimetres of fresh snow, depending on where you are. And although the snow is expected to ease into scattered flurries or even mixed rain showers as the day goes on, the overall message is clear: the weather is far from finished.

What’s making things even more intense are the strong wind gusts funnelling off Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Communities like Niagara Falls, Toronto, and Kingston are already feeling those winds, and when you combine wind with steady snowfall, visibility gets reduced quickly and travel becomes tough. Anyone heading out is being advised to take it slow and stay cautious.
But the real punch might be coming later. Lake-effect snow is expected tonight and into Monday morning, and it could deliver another blast to areas that have already been hit especially hard—particularly those near Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. These places are no strangers to heavy snow bands, but even for them, this latest round is adding up fast.
Hydro One has reported that several hundred customers are without power in various pockets of the province. With the combination of heavy, wet snow and strong winds, power lines and tree branches are being pushed to their limits. Crews are working to restore service, but more outages could still occur if conditions worsen.
For many communities, this stretch of weather is becoming a test of endurance. Driveways are being cleared repeatedly, roads are coated again almost as soon as they’re plowed, and people are trying to stay ahead of the shifting conditions. Even though winter storms are expected this time of year, this particular system is making its presence known—loudly and persistently.
As the day goes on, the snowfall should lighten in some areas, but with lake-effect bands lining up for the night, southern Ontario isn't quite in the clear just yet. Residents are preparing for another round, hoping that conditions improve soon but knowing they may need to dig out at least a few more times before this system finally moves on.
