Winter is hitting harder than expected today, and many residents are already noticing sudden whiteouts, slowdowns, and rapidly changing conditions across Guelph. Before you head out or make weekend plans, take a moment to understand exactly what Environment Canada is warning about — how long it may last, which areas could see the worst of it, and why conditions may shift from clear to hazardous in minutes.
A Snow Squall Warning has been issued for Guelph as intense lake-effect bands off Lake Huron continue to move through the region.
What to Expect
Local snowfall totals between 10 and 30 cm, with higher amounts possible in the most persistent bands
Near zero visibility at times due to heavy snow and blowing snow
Strong westerly gusts up to 60 km/h, making conditions even more dangerous
Timeline
Snow squalls are expected to continue throughout the day, easing tonight or into Saturday morning. Areas closer to Lake Huron may see poor conditions linger longer.
Travel Advisory
Travel could become extremely hazardous with sudden whiteouts and rapidly worsening road conditions. Road closures are possible, and anyone who must travel should use caution and be prepared for delays.
