The Monday morning drive was a bit sluggish thanks to some snow falling after the holiday in the Waterloo region and Guelph areas.
Cambridge announced a snow event starting at noon ET on Monday so city crews can clear streets and sidewalks properly. This event, which lasts until noon Tuesday, means no parking on city streets is allowed.
“City snowplows are already out clearing roads. They do so based on provincial guidelines and a priority schedule with priority roads cleared first and residential roads cleared last. Residential roads are typically not salted, so snowpack will remain on the surface,” Cambridge said in a release.
According to Environment Canada, Waterloo region might see about five centimetres of snow Monday morning while Guelph could get as much as 15 centimetres. The snow should turn into freezing drizzle later that afternoon.
The weather warnings issued Sunday night have now all been cancelled.
The Waterloo Regional Police Service mentioned on X (formerly Twitter) that since students head back to school today, people should watch out for school buses on the road again.
“Please slow down, drive with caution, and stay alert for pedestrians and school buses,” the police service said.
Weather forecasts show that temperatures in Waterloo region will rise above freezing throughout this week until Saturday. Each day will be mostly cloudy with a chance of light flurries here and there.
