Some Ontario communities still digging out after a severe storm last weekend should brace for round two as snow squalls coming off the Great Lakes are expected to bring heavy snow to a swath of the province over the coming days.
Environment Canada has issued a series of weather alerts for regions along the shores of Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, including some areas battered by the recent storm.
It says blowing snow off Lake Huron and the Georgian Bay could dump up to 60 cm on nearby communities between tonight and Wednesday evening before moving further south. Ontario Provincial Police extended a closure of Highway 11 on Sunday between Orillia and Huntsville after hundreds of drivers were stranded, but now say the lanes have fully reopened.
"The system itself will be out of Ontario probably late Thursday, but in behind that, it's going to be bringing in more cold air, similar to what we saw last weekend across Georgian Bay and Lake Huron," he said.
