Residents in Owen Sound, Ontario, are facing slippery travel conditions on March 20, 2026, as a mix of snow and ice pellets moves through the region. Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for Owen Sound, the Blue Mountains, and Northern Grey County on Friday morning.
The national weather agency expects the area to receive between 2 to 5 centimetres of snow or ice pellets. There is also a risk of freezing rain as the weather system passes through the region from the early morning until the early afternoon.
Officials warned that the accumulating snow and ice will likely make roads and walkways difficult to navigate for local residents. This wintry mix is expected to impact morning rush hour traffic and could create a risk of injury from slips and falls on icy surfaces.
People travelling in the area should use extra caution while driving or walking throughout the day. The weather alert was issued to help residents prepare for the sudden change in conditions as mixed winter weather continues into late March.
