On February 11, 2026, Grey County Transportation Services reported that major county roads serving The Blue Mountains area are mostly snow‑covered. Drivers should expect drifting snow and potentially reduced visibility in places during the morning following overnight snow squalls and sustained winds.
Reporting areas including Meaford and Thornbury show many county routes are mostly snow‑covered with drifting, creating difficult driving conditions in places. This affects roads such as Grey Road 19, Grey Road 21 and Grey Road 13, where winds are pushing snow across lanes and producing slippery surfaces.
Local authorities are asking people to take extra care while driving or to stay home if the trip is not necessary. Residents can check for updates by calling the Grey County road hotline at 1‑866‑266‑7569 or by visiting Grey County’s Road Conditions page and signing up for email alerts.
While Grey County Transportation Services manages the county road network, the Town of The Blue Mountains is responsible for municipal side streets. The area’s hills and open fields — including sections of the Niagara Escarpment and the farmland between Meaford and Thornbury — frequently cause wind-driven ‘blow‑back’ that can re-cover plowed roads shortly after crews have passed, making it harder to keep pavement clear.
