周日(10)晚间,又一波雪暴袭击GTA地区,由于高达每小时80公里的强风,多伦多不少地区树枝折断,进而扯断电线,导致停电事故:其中湖滨路 (Lake Shore Blvd) 的电线因大树被强风吹倒而压断电线,居住在西区 Mimico 地区的近3,000 居民因此断电。电力局派出工人连夜抢修。此外,北约克和多伦多东北地区的 Uxbridge 镇也出现类似事故,暂未知何时恢复供电。
据CP24电视新闻报道,今晨多伦多最低温-7C,但考虑风寒效应则感觉犹如-19 C,加拿大环境部表示,近日GTA及周边地区有飘雪,而寒冷天气会持续一周;环境部向多个地区发出降雪警告,包括 Newmarket, Georgina, Uxbridge, Dufferin-Innisfil, Grey-Bruce 以及Barrie 等地区。
环境部也向下述地区发出飘雪预警 (snow squall watch),包括 Pickering, Belleville, Kingston 以及 Fenelon Falls等地区,而 Picton 以及 Sandbanks Park 地区的强风警告仍然有效。
此外,今晨2时许,多伦多西区 Sheppard Avenue 夹 Weston Road 地区发生车祸,1名司机疑因路面结冰驾车失控,撞破一座教堂的门之后冲入教堂之内,司机受伤被送往医院接受治疗,其伤况尚不清楚。
由于昨天先降雨后降雪,因此不少地区的路面结冰,当局呼吁驾车人士减慢车速,小心驾驶,确保安全。
