Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Mississippi Mills and Eastern Lanark County, warning of brief but intense snowfall throughout this morning, Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
The agency reports that while total snowfall accumulations are expected to be between 4 and 10 centimetres, the primary concern for residents is significantly reduced visibility. The heavy snow, combined with local blowing snow, is expected to make travel difficult and may impact the morning commute.
Conditions are expected to improve later this afternoon as the flurries clear out. The forecast for the remainder of the day calls for a high of 0C with north winds gusting up to 50 kilometres per hour, creating a wind chill of minus 14 this morning.
Following the flurries, skies are expected to clear tonight with temperatures dropping to a low of minus 9C. Residents can look forward to sunnier conditions on Wednesday, with a forecasted high of 6C.
Environment Canada encourages residents to stay informed on local conditions and report severe weather by emailing [email protected] or using the #ONStorm hashtag on social media.
