Environment Canada has issued a weather alert for Kingston, Ontario, warning of significant snowfall starting today, March 13, 2026. Residents in the area, including Odessa and the Frontenac Islands, should expect between 10 and 15 centimetres of snow to fall through Saturday morning.
The weather agency says the snow will fall heavily at times, with rates reaching up to five centimetres per hour in some spots. This intense snowfall is expected to reduce visibility, making it difficult for people to see while driving or walking outside.
The snow will likely mix with rain this afternoon and evening as temperatures rise to a high of 3°C. However, officials warn that temperatures will drop again tonight, which could quickly turn wet surfaces into ice on local roads and sidewalks.
Drivers and pedestrians should exercise caution as conditions change throughout the day. Residents are encouraged to stay updated with the latest local forecasts as the weather system moves through the region.
