Yellow Warning - Snowfall
12:34 p.m. EST Wednesday 18 February 2026

Impact Level: Moderate

Forecast Confidence: High


Hazardous winter conditions expected today.

What:
Snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 cm.
Snow mixing with ice pellets at times.
Icy and slippery conditions.

When:
Continuing through this evening.

Additional information:
A low pressure system is expected to bring snow and ice pellets to the region today. Note that even a few centimetres of ice pellets can result in travel conditions that can be more hazardous than heavy snowfalls. Ice pellets result in reduced traction on roadways and are difficult to shovel due to their dense nature.

Travel will likely be challenging. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic. Visibility will likely be reduced at times.

Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #ONStorm.

In effect for:
  • Pickering - Oshawa - Southern Durham Region
