(MIDLAND, On)- Members of the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are asking that motorists making their way to their destinations this evening drive with a heightened level of care and attention due to the current road and weather conditions.
Motorists driving their vehicles to the current road and weather conditions will likely stay out of the ditches and avoid collisions by doing so.
Snow plow/sanders are all operational but they too are encountering blowing snow causing white out conditions especially in wide open rural areas.
Officers would like to remind motorists that turning on all of your vehicle's lights and clearing all of the windows will make it much easier to see and be seen!
