Heavy snowfall has significantly disrupted daily life across Canada’s province of Ontario, with authorities warning of further accumulation in the coming days, 24NewsHD TV reported on Saturday.
According to the Meteorological Department, an official weather warning has been issued, forecasting an additional 8 to 12 centimetres of snowfall across several areas of the province.
The continued snowfall has raised concerns over transportation safety and public movement.
Roads across Ontario have been covered in a thick white blanket, severely affecting traffic flow and leading to a noticeable reduction in visibility.
Slippery road conditions have increased the risk of accidents, prompting authorities to urge motorists to exercise extreme caution.
In response to the deteriorating conditions, snow-clearing machinery and road maintenance crews have been fully mobilised.
Emergency services have also been placed on high alert to deal with any untoward incidents resulting from the harsh weather.
Officials have advised residents to limit non-essential travel and follow safety guidelines until conditions improve.
