On March 3, 2026, Environment Canada warned residents in Milton, Ontario, to prepare for light snow and a risk of freezing drizzle starting late this afternoon. This weather shift is expected to create slippery conditions for the evening commute as cloud cover increases and temperatures begin to drop.
The forecast predicts a 30 percent chance of light snow followed by freezing drizzle that could turn into black ice as the temperature falls to a low of -7°C overnight. The Halton Regional Police Service warns that this type of drizzle can make roads as slippery as an ice rink. Fog patches are also expected to develop late tonight, which may make it harder for drivers to see.
The Town of Milton will focus on salting and plowing major roads and bus routes before moving into residential areas. People using Milton Transit are encouraged to check for service delays on the TransitTracker mobile app throughout the evening.
Local property owners are reminded that they are legally required to clear snow and ice from the sidewalks next to their homes. This work must be finished within 24 hours after the snow or ice storm ends to keep walkways safe for neighbours and pedestrians.
