Winter Operations Update - November 22nd, 2022 - Update |
Winter Operations Update District crews, together with our partner municipalities and outsourced services, prepare for weather advisories and alerts – and monitor weather conditions 24/7. Muskoka’s first significant snowfall this winter saw crews working together to restore regular service to roads by responding to calls for plowing, sanding, and salting based on the changing weather and temperatures. This is just the beginning – winter in Muskoka is here!

It’s Snowing.. still! - November 18th, 2022 - Update |
It’s Snowing.. still!
The forecast as of Friday afternoon is indicating local snowfall amounts of up to 15 to 30 cm overnight and into tomorrow morning. After a pause on Saturday, amounts of 10 to 15 cm are possible Saturday night overnight into Sunday morning. Motorists are advised that poor visibility may be experienced during periods of heavy and local blowing snow.
Additional updates will be shared as the weekend progresses and weather conditions change. As always, please drive according to road and weather conditions for both your safety and those around you. |
District road crews and our partners from the Area Municipalities and Fowler are hard at work clearing and plowing District roadways across Muskoka. Due to conditions, our winter maintenance operations are going a little slower than usual. We are deploying additional equipment, and existing trucks and plows will also extend their work to provide additional support to help get the work done as quickly and safely as possible.
We thank drivers for their patience, as it takes significant time for our crews to travel and clear the 730 kilometres of District roadways to the maintenance standards required. Crews are hard at work to get this work done.
How can you help? Be prepared. |
More snow is forecasted for today and into the weekend. If you are travelling in winter weather, please remember to take time to plan ahead and drive according to weather conditions based on your local forecast. Here are some other helpful winter driving tips to help make your trips as safe as possible. |
