Due to severe weather conditions, several roads in Dufferin County were closed on Monday, prompting Dufferin OPP to advise the public to stay home unless absolutely necessary. Police responded to numerous collisions caused by blowing snow, which made visibility “next to impossible.”
Environment Canada issued a snow squall warning, with snowfall accumulations of 30 to 60 cm expected through Tuesday. The road closures include Amaranth East Luther Townline, County Road 124 (Shelburne to Collingwood), County Road 16 (Broadway to 5 Sideroad), and 2nd Line SW (Hwy 89 to Dundalk).
Police urged drivers to check weather updates, drive cautiously, and allow extra time if travel is essential. By 6 p.m., police posted an image of multiple vehicles stuck on County Road 124, reiterating their message to stay safe indoors.
