Meanwhile in Ontario
Intense snow squalls battering Ontario moved south Sunday after burying some parts of the province under more than a metre of snow, stranding people on roadways and prompting one town to declare a state of emergency.
Gravenhurst, a town in the Muskoka region hit with about 140 cm of snowfall, declared a state of emergency early Sunday.
“This is the most snow I’ve seen in the 27 years that I’ve lived here, in such a short period of time,” Gravenhurst Mayor Heidi Lorenz said in an interview. “It was a perfect disaster.”
The shifting winds offered relief to hard-hit communities but threatened to deliver snow squalls to areas further south.
Premier Doug Ford said the province was working closely with local authorities to help them respond to the storm. Ford said he was relieved no injuries or deaths had been reported.
Snowmobile-riding first responders took to otherwise impassable roads to help rescue people from stranded vehicles around Muskoka, police said. It was unclear how many people were still stranded on Sunday, though a police spokesperson suggested some had been stuck overnight.
