Environment Canada is warning that a strong low-pressure area from Colorado is forecast to approach Northeastern Ontario and bring significant amounts of snow and freezing rain this weekend.
Anglers for the ice fishing derby may enjoy good fishing as fishing while the barometer is dropping is usually good. However, this same dropping barometer and snow/freezing rain may make travelling difficult.
Environment Canada cautions, “Untreated surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Consider changing travel plans accordingly as hazardous winter travelling conditions are possible.”
