In the Royal City and the surrounding areas, residents are expected to experience flash freeze warnings as there’ll be drop in the temperature at night.

Around one centimetre of snowfall is anticipated, and it’ll stick around overnight and into Thursday morning.

Also, one organization in the Royal City is already preparing for the inclement weather. The Guelph Legion has closed its doors for the day and said bingo will not be happening on Wednesday night.

In addition, winds gusts will be between 70 and 80 km/h and drivers can expect icy conditions on the road, making it slippery for some on their commute home from work.
