We’re into the new year!
A Snowfall Warning has been issued by Environment Canada:
“Although modest snowfall amounts are expected, the timing of this snow will be problematic. Because the holiday season is now behind us, and traffic patterns should be closer to normal, this snow is expected to have more of an impact on the morning commute.
“Travel will likely be challenging. Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic. Visibility will likely be reduced at times.
“Allow extra time for travel.”
