Winter wallop with snow and high winds expected to hit parts of Ontario and Quebec

Winter Weather Warning for Ontario and Quebec

A large weather system sweeping across Canada is expected to bring winter conditions to Ontario and Quebec starting Wednesday and continuing into Thursday. Meteorologists warn of strong winds, snowfall, and reduced visibility across several regions.

Expected Impacts

Environment Canada forecasts that southern Ontario and western Quebec will experience heavy snowfall, potentially accumulating several centimeters overnight. Northern and eastern parts of Ontario are expected to face even deeper snow totals paired with wind gusts reaching up to 70 km/h.

“The first major snow event of the season could cause hazardous travel conditions,” said Environment Canada’s weather advisory.

Travel and Safety Advisory

Officials are urging drivers to plan ahead and be prepared for rapidly changing road conditions. Strong crosswinds may make highway driving difficult, particularly in open areas. Air travel is also expected to be disrupted due to low visibility and de-icing delays at several airports.

Areas Under Warning

Environment Canada advises residents to monitor local forecasts and emergency updates. Communities are encouraged to limit unnecessary travel and keep emergency kits ready in case of power outages.

Author Summary

A winter storm bringing strong winds and heavy snow will move through Ontario and Quebec midweek, causing travel hazards and prompting widespread weather warnings.
