Updated southern Ontario-focused snowfall accumulation map. A lesser shade of blue for Orillia (hooray) and other minor tweaks. And a look at the expected highway impacts from the lake-effect snow squalls (highways 400, 21, 8 and 4). #ONstorm #ONwx

Oh, boy. Look at that lake-effect snowfall projection south of Barrie, in particular. Orillia, so far, has dodged a big mess. #ONstorm #ONwx

Snowfall accumulation through the week. Four weather systems are forecast to impact Ontario, each bringing a variety of winter-weather conditions. A favourable temperature boundary has developed, shifting the storm track across the province. #ONstorm #ONwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

It's beginning to look a lot like #Christmas. Well, in Orillia it is, anyway. Discover what defines a #whitechristmas and a perfect Christmas, and see which Canadian cities are most and least likely to see snow on Dec. 25, based on decades of data. 🎅🎄❄️ www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

As @seanmichaletz.bsky.social puts it, "plants are basically the foundation of the entire biosphere." Leaky plants are problematic for everything. “All of the other living organisms on Earth...that's the energy source for all of the other living organisms. Other organisms eat that biomass for food.”

Unfortunately, southern Ontarians, there won't be much rest from the snowy weather as another round is expected to make its way into the province late Saturday and continue for the rest of the weekend. Latest snowfall projects in graphic. #ONstorm #ONwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

A prolonged, multi-day, lake-effect snow squall event is about to unfold in parts of southern Ontario. It could bring 40+ cm of snow to some areas, with hazardous travel conditions, potentially leading to road and school closures. #ONstorm #ONwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

A significant winter storm is blasting parts of northern Ontario, possibly bringing up to 40 cm of snow and near-zero visibility through Thursday. With road closures already announced, additional impacts on major highways are likely. #ONstorm #ONwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

Calgary is on the cusp of its driest fall in more than 140 years. With only 9.6 mm of precipitation from September to November, you will have to go all the way back to 1885 to find less in a fall season. #ABwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...
November 22, 2025 at 6:48 PM
Drivers should plan for slick roads and potential traffic delays late Sunday and into the Monday morning commute as a blanket of snow aims for parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan, including Calgary and Regina. #ABstorm #SKwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

Like it or not, Canada, #winteriscoming. Arctic air will be on a southward move next week to bring Canada a major pattern changeup, a healthy reminder that winter is just around the corner. www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

Highway travel impacts. Lake Huron snow squalls will target several counties, but worst conditions with significant whiteouts are forecast in: Huron, southern Perth, Oxford, eastern Middlesex and Norfolk counties. Secondary squall targets Collingwood to Highway 400 south of Barrie. #ONstorm #ONwx

Treacherous travel conditions are expected in some of Ontario snowbelt communities through Monday as an ideal snow squall setup is in place, with some areas possibly seeing 40 cm of snow by the time the lake-effect machine shuts down. #ONstorm #ONwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

Southern Ontario was treated to a summer-like thunderstorm event on Saturday as some stronger cells rolled through the area, dropping loonie-sized hail in parts of Brampton, and lighting up the sky from Georgian Bay to Lake Erie. #ONstorm #ONwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...
November 15, 2025 at 7:14 PM
Pockets of eastern Ontario and Quebec could see up to 10 mm of ice accretion. Totals will likely varying by subtle differences in elevation and temperature. More than eight hours of freezing rain is possible across National Capital Region. #onstorm #ONwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

Gusty, northwesterly winds will help lake-effect squalls become organized throughout Sunday. Through Monday, Lake Huron band: 15-30+ cm for portions of Huron, Middlesex, Elgin, Perth, and Oxford counties. Georgian Bay band: 5-15 cm, with light totals pressing towards northern GTA. #onstorm #ONwx

@wwfcanada.org Living Planet Report also revealed negative trend in Canada's #biodiversity, with a 10 per cent decline in the size of monitored vertebrate populations, on average, from 1970 to 2022. Significant threats including habitat loss, #ClimateChange, pollution, invasive species and disease.

Populations of snowy owls have declined by 56 per cent since 1970. One of the main risks to snowy owls is #ClimateChange, particularly since the Arctic is warming at nearly three times the rate of the rest of the planet. @wwfcanada.org

#NorthernLights timeline in Canada for tonight and tomorrow. Plus, cloud cover forecasts for both nights. Who will have the best chance to see them? Not Ontario, that's for sure. #Auroraborealis
