A significant winter storm is expected to sweep through the corridor of Ontario, bringing heavy snowfall and a potential threat of freezing rain.
According to Environment Canada, snow linked to a “major” winter storm is forecasted to reach the area on Tuesday and persist into Wednesday morning, prompting the issuance of a storm watch for the central and eastern regions of Ontario.
A warning has also been issued for the western and central regions of Quebec, with the storm expected to bring between 20 to 40 cm of snow in the Outaouais region and the lower Laurentides.
The meteorological agency stated, “Snow associated with a major winter storm is expected to arrive late Tuesday and continue into Wednesday morning. The snow is likely to transition to ice pellets or freezing rain on Tuesday night. Several hours of freezing rain are possible, particularly in the Ottawa Valley.”
