Winter Weather Travel Advisory in Effect – January 27, 2025

From Environment Canada

Environment Canada has issued a winter weather travel advisory for the region.

Through this evening to early tomorrow morning, there will be significantly reduced visibility due to wind gusts of 70 or 80 km/h, blowing snow and snowfall accumulations up to 10 cm.

Southwesterly winds will continue to strengthen this afternoon. Conditions will deteriorate this evening as flurries intensify in advance of a strong cold front. Strong wind gusts in combination with heavy flurries will result in reduced visibility in snow and blowing snow.

Late this evening, as a sharp cold front moves through, near zero visibility in bursts of heavy snow and blowing snow are possible along with a sharp temperature drop. A frontal snow squall warning may be required.

Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for taillights ahead and be prepared to stop.
