Snow and freezing rain return to parts of Ontario; more power outages possible

Ontario is in the path of another spring storm, complete with snow and ice. Environment Canada has issued snowfall and winter storm warnings for areas between the Manitoba border and Thunder Bay. Further eastward, conditions remain cold but become wet.

Freezing rain warnings stretch all the way from north of Sault Ste. Marie to the Quebec border. Power utility Hydro One says crews have been working around the clock since the last storm blew through, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of homes.



With almost 214,000 customers still in the dark, there is concern that the latest storm's accompanying winds could trigger even more power outages. This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 2, 2025. The Canadian Press.
