Snow Squall Warning in Niagara Causes Road Closures and Power Outages

Environment Canada has issued a snow squall warning for the Niagara region today, leading to several road closures and power outages over the weekend. Despite the challenging weather conditions, there are no reported cancellations of school buses or other closures, although delays are expected according to Student Transportation Services.

The blowing snow over the weekend caused road closures in various parts of the region, impacting travel for residents and visitors alike. Additionally, the Peace Bridge, a major crossing point into the United States, was closed yesterday due to the hazardous conditions.

Hydro One, the provincial power utility, worked diligently to restore power to over 100,000 customers affected by outages caused by the inclement weather. Their efforts were successful, but it serves as a reminder of the potential impact severe weather can have on our infrastructure.
