Residents in Watson Lake, Yukon, should prepare for a long stretch of winter weather as the forecast calls for daily snow and flurries from March 16 to March 25, 2026. According to The Weather Network, the community will see scattered flurries and light snow for over a week. While no major storms are predicted, the constant snowfall is expected to make local roads and sidewalks slippery.
The Town of Watson Lake reminds homeowners that they are responsible for clearing snow from their own driveways and entrances. This policy includes the space between the edge of the road and the property line. Residents should plan for regular shovelling and maintenance of their property to prevent ice from building up during the ten-day period.
To help municipal crews clear the streets, the town also requires residents to remove all items and obstacles from the public right-of-way. Keeping these areas clear allows snow plows to move through the community more effectively. Drivers are encouraged to give themselves extra time for travel and to check for any updates from local schools or the airport.
