It’s a Snow Day in Orangeville!
A Snow Squall Warning remains in effect for the area:
“Intermittent snow squalls will continue through this afternoon before tapering to light flurries this evening. Gusty winds are producing significantly reduced visibility in blowing snow. Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Travel is expected to be extremely hazardous due to reduced visibility. Road closures are likely.”
