Winter weather travel advisory issued for Windsor-Essex with up to 15cm of snow expected
A winter weather travel advisory is in effect for Friday for Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent.
Environment Canada has forecast upwards of 15 cm of snow for Friday with slipper surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots.
The snow is expected to start Friday morning over southern Ontario and reach the Niagara region by Friday afternoon.
The City of Windsor is reminding drivers to take caution and leave extra room for stopping as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become slippery.
Both the morning and afternoon rush hour are expected to be affected by the storm, city officials warn. This may cause delays due to the changing road conditions.
“Try to give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination, and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles on the road,” officials said in a news release.
