Locally, greater accumulation is possible over the Algonquin Highlands. Peak snowfall rates of 3 to 6 cm per hour. Significantly reduced visibility in heavy and blowing snow.

As a result, the Municipality of Marmora and Lake has declared a significant weather event, as defined within the Minimum Maintenance Standards O. Reg. 239/02. During a significant weather event, residents are advised to use caution and are reminded that winter maintenance service levels for roads may not be met.
