As Southern Ontario braces for an abrupt weather shift this afternoon, Environment Canada has issued dual warnings, urging residents to prepare for hazardous conditions. A Snow Squall Watch blankets the region, with expectations of heavy snowfall, gusty winds, and diminished visibility, especially along the shores of Lake Huron. Simultaneously, a Special Weather Statement highlights the imminent arrival of a sharp cold front, heralding sudden temperature drops and icy roadways due to strong northwesterly winds gusting up to 80 km/h.
Authorities caution against non-essential travel, advising residents to remain vigilant and adjust plans accordingly as conditions rapidly deteriorate. The combination of heavy snow squalls and icy surfaces poses significant challenges for commuters and pedestrians alike.
