A weather alert from Environment Canada is warning drivers in Stratford, Ontario, to prepare for heavy flurries and poor visibility on Thursday, February 12, 2026. The government weather agency says localized bursts of snow will make it difficult to see and will likely cause dangerous travel conditions throughout the morning.
The region could see about 5 centimetres of new snow, but the biggest concern for residents is how quickly the weather can change. These sudden flurries can make sight lines disappear almost instantly on major routes like Highway 7/8 and Perth Road 119.
The Huron Perth Student Transportation Services is monitoring the roads for school bus delays or cancellations. Local officials at Perth County Community Preparedness advise everyone to leave extra time for their morning commute and to stay updated on current road notices.
