Officers also responded to several reports of vehicles in the ditch along the Hwy. 402. Traffic was also backed up on Hwy. 401 in the Ingersoll area, after a vehicle rolled into the centre media near Putnam Road.

While snowfall amounts from the weather system will be relatively modest, we’re only expected to get between 4 and 8 centimetres of snow, brief bursts of heavier snow could cause visibility issues.
