Environment Canada lifted all active weather warnings for Hanover, Ontario, on March 23, 2026, signaling the end of a week of severe winter storms and hazardous travel. The move comes after a stretch of intense snow squalls and freezing rain that made local roads dangerous for residents and commuters.
Between March 13 and March 17, the region received between 20 and 40 centimetres of snow, while wind gusts reached speeds of up to 80 kilometres per hour. These conditions led to near-zero visibility and several road closures throughout Grey County and Bruce County during the peak of the storm.
The Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority also confirmed on Monday that no active flood messages are currently in effect for the watershed. This follows a period earlier this month when the authority had issued warnings due to heavy rain and warming temperatures.
For the nearly 8,000 people living in the Town of Hanover, the weather is expected to remain moderate through the rest of the week. Temperatures will range from a low of -10 degrees Celsius overnight to highs of 4 degrees Celsius, with a forecast that includes a mix of clouds, light flurries, and occasional rain showers.
