Residents in Cornwall, Ontario, are dealing with slippery roads and unpredictable weather after a major ice storm hit the region earlier this week. Environment Canada reports that the community should expect periods of snow on Friday, followed by a mix of flurries and rain through Monday, March 16, 2026.
Temperatures in the area are forecast to change quickly over the next few days. Conditions will swing from nighttime lows of -10°C to daytime highs of 6°C by the start of next week.
This weather follows a significant ice storm that began on March 10, 2026. The storm caused travel problems and threatened power outages across Eastern Ontario as ice built up on power lines and tree branches.
The rapid freeze and thaw cycle may create hidden icy patches on sidewalks and lead to drainage issues as ice melts. Local crews are still working to clear the streets, and residents are asked to stay alert to changing road conditions.
