More snow coming for Northern Ontario
After rain, wind and ice… snow, and plenty of it is coming for Northern Ontario. Environment Canada says that 15 to 25 centimetres of snow and blowing snow are possible. This is all thanks to a low-pressure system brewing over the southern plains in the U.S. may intensify into a winter storm as it tracks over southern Ontario Tuesday. Environment Canada says this could all have a major impact of travel.
