Driving Safety - Environment Canada - Lake Effect Snow - Snow Squall - Weather Warnings

Environment Canada has issued snow squall warnings for various areas in Central Ontario, advising caution due to reduced visibility in heavy snow.

A series of snow squall warnings have been issued by Environment Canada across Central Ontario. Orillia has been particularly highlighted with hazards including reduced visibility and accumulation of 5 to 10 cm of snow expected today. The warning extends to areas such as Barrie, Midland, Collingwood, and Innisfil among others. Motorists are urged to drive cautiously and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility.

The snow squall warning in effect emphasizes the importance of slowing down while driving, especially in conditions of poor visibility caused by heavy snow and blowing snow. The caution extends to areas north of the Sault as lake effect snow squalls are predicted to persist into Sunday, posing risks of significantly reduced visibility due to the heavy snow.

Interesting Facts: The Environment Canada, responsible for issuing these warnings, plays a crucial role in alerting residents and travelers about weather-related dangers. Orillia, one of the areas under the warning, is known for its scenic landscapes and recreational activities attracting visitors year-round.
