Residents in Kingston, Ontario, are facing a messy Friday morning as heavy snow moves through the region on March 20, 2026. Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Kingston, Odessa, and the Frontenac Islands, warning that up to 10 centimetres of snow could fall by the early afternoon.
The snow is expected to fall most heavily during the morning rush hour. Meteorologists say the area could see between 2 and 3 centimetres of snow per hour at the height of the storm.
The heavy snowfall will likely make local roads and sidewalks difficult to navigate. Drivers should prepare for slower travel times and reduced visibility while heading to work or school on Friday.
Total snowfall amounts are predicted to range between 5 and 10 centimetres across the region. Weather officials suggest that the conditions will start to improve later in the afternoon as the system moves out of the area.
Authorities are advising everyone to stay updated on the latest forecasts and to use extra caution when walking or driving. The special weather statement remains in effect through the early part of the day.
