CORNWALL/SOUTH STORMONT – Both the City of Cornwall and the Township of South Stormont have suspended time limits for clearing snow.
A winter storm warning is in effect as the region deals with a wintry blast of rain, freezing rain, snow and ice pellets. There’s also the potential for a flash freeze this afternoon.
This is the second time the City of Cornwall has declared a “significant weather event” and suspended snow clearing rules after doing it for last week’s storm.
South Stormont made the same declaration around 11:30 a.m. Friday.
Both municipalities are urging people not to travel unless it’s absolutely necessary.
For Cornwall, normal snow clearing limits are 6 hours for 5 or more centimeters of snow on a main road, 16 hours for 8 or more centimeters on a collector road and 48 hours after the storm stops for sidewalks.
