Ontario’s weather agency is urging residents to have emergency kits prepared ahead of a severe storm that is hitting most of the country with blizzards and extreme cold.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) released the warning on its social media account for Ontario, saying at around 6:25 p.m. on Dec. 22 that the agency has upgraded winter storm watches to “winter storm alert” or “blizzard alerts” for most parts of northern Ontario.
