Winter Storm Near Miss: Southern Ontario Could Still See Heavy Snow

  A major winter storm developing across the central United States is expected to track close enough to southern Ontario this weekend to bring the risk of significant snowfall. While the core of the system is projected to remain south of the border, its northern edge may still sweep across regions from Windsor to the Greater Toronto Area. Forecasters say the exact path remains uncertain, but current projections suggest that areas along and south of Highway 401 could see notable accumulations if the storm shifts even slightly north. Some models indicate the potential for 10–20 centimetres of snow, with locally higher amounts possible if lake‑enhanced bands develop.

Syria's Interim Leader Calls for Unity Amid Escalating Violence

 

In a heartfelt appeal for peace, Syria's interim leader, Ahmed Sharaa, addressed the nation following the deadliest outbreak of violence in over a decade. Speaking from a mosque in his childhood neighborhood of Mazzah, Damascus, Sharaa emphasized the importance of national unity and domestic peace. "We must preserve our unity and live together," he urged, acknowledging the challenges facing the country.

The recent clashes, which erupted in the coastal regions of Latakia and Tartous, have claimed over 1,000 lives, including civilians, security personnel, and fighters loyal to the ousted regime of Bashar al-Assad. The violence marks a grim chapter in Syria's ongoing struggle for stability after the fall of Assad's government in December.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the violence has spiraled into revenge killings and summary executions, with armed militias targeting Alawite communities accused of supporting the former regime. The interim government faces mounting pressure to address these sectarian tensions and restore order.

Sharaa's call for peace comes as a reminder of the resilience and unity needed to rebuild a nation torn apart by years of conflict. "Syria has the characteristics for survival," he reassured, urging citizens to rise above sectarian divides and work towards a peaceful future.
