Snowfall Siege: Ontario Grapples with Record Snow Squalls


Ontario is currently experiencing a severe snow squall event, with some areas expected to see snowfall totals exceeding 100 cm by the end of the weekend. The powerful lake-effect snow has already blanketed Bracebridge with 55 cm of snow as of Friday evening.

The multi-day event, which began on Thursday, is predicted to continue through Sunday, bringing heavy snowfall rates of 5-10 cm per hour. Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued snow squall warnings, urging residents to prepare for rapidly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.

Communities from Kincardine to Dundalk and Parry Sound to Barrie are expected to be hit hardest, with potential whiteout conditions and near-zero visibility. Sault Ste. Marie is also bracing for significant snowfall, with accumulations of 30-50 cm anticipated.

While the snowfall is a boon for Ontario's ski resorts, it poses challenges for drivers and travelers. Authorities advise caution and staying updated on road conditions.
