A winter weather travel advisory is in effect for Waterloo Region Thursday.
This comes after a snow squall warning was issued Wednesday night bringing around 12 cm of snow to some areas of Kitchener by midnight.
The weather warning was replaced by a winter weather travel advisory Thursday by Environment Canada, calling for an additional 5-10 cm of snow by late Thursday.
The advisory from the weather authority reads, “The lake effect snow is expected to gradually weaken (Thursday) afternoon. Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.”
The advisory also advises postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.
An additional 2-4 cm of snow is expected Friday and Saturday.
As the clock struck midnight on December 31st, residents of Waterloo Region were greeted with heavy snowfall to ring in the new year. The fluffy white flakes blanketed the streets, creating a winter wonderland that added a magical touch to the festive celebrations.
Families gathered around crackling bonfires, sipping hot cocoa and roasting marshmallows as the snow fell gently around them. Children gleefully built snowmen and had epic snowball fights, while couples strolled hand in hand through the winter wonderland.
The New Year in Waterloo Region was truly a sight to behold, with the snow-covered landscape adding a special charm to the start of 2022. As the snow continued to fall, residents embraced the winter season with open arms, looking forward to all the snowy adventures and cozy moments that awaited them in the coming months.
