It’s looking a little messy outside, and more snow is forecast to fall.
Environment Canada has issued weather alerts for the City of Hamilton, Oakville & Burlingon, and Mississauga & Brampton; and there is a snow squall warning in effect for Guelph, Cambridge, Kitchener, and the region of Waterloo.
Here’s a brief round up of what our operations teams are doing, by area:
Guelph, K-W & Cambridge:
Our plows will begin to cycle back through properties in the next hour, continually returning to properties over the next several hours. At this time our priority is to maintain access to throughways. Walkways will be cleared this evening. Driveways will be cleared tomorrow morning once the snow squall bands taper off.
Another dense band of snow squalls is tracking across the region and snow will rapid accumulate. Please exercise caution when travelling and be aware that our teams may be on site during poor visibility.
Milton:
Snow squalls are in the area, we could see anywhere from a dusting to 8cm of snow by midnight tonight. We currently have plow trucks opening up the roadways and walk crews are out and shoveling. We will have crews out overnight to clean up the sites and to salt once the snow has stopped.
Mississauga & Oakville:
Crews have been dispatched and are out salting all properties. We received roughly 1 inch of snow. They are calling for more snow overnight so we will be watching the weather and will dispatch accordingly.
Burlington:
We had a snow squall come through starting at 1pm leaving us with just under an inch of snow. We have dispatched salt trucks as well as all walk crews to scrape and salt the walks. We will be sending plows out overnight to clean up if needed. They are calling for a few flurries overnight which we will be monitoring and will send salt crews back out if required.
Hamilton:
Snow squalls are in the area, we could see anywhere from a dusting to 8cm of snow by midnight tonight. We currently have plow trucks opening up the roadways and walk crews are out and shoveling. We will have crews out overnight to clean up the sites and salt when the snow has stopped.
