Hmm. What in the world could have happened in 2020 and 2021?

Road and highway closures, December 24th (morning) - Southern Ontario.

Look at 401 closed from near Oshawa to Brockville! Also, pretty much all of Bruce County and all of Prince Edward County.

Emergency responders are overwhelmed in these conditions. Please delay travel until conditions improve and stay safe.
