It may be called a spring blizzard, but winter weather is still alive and kicking in northwestern Ontario.
The region is digging out today - some communities to the east of Fort Frances received as much as 30 centimetres of snow over the past twelve hours. Environment Canada forecaster Geoff Coulson says heavy snowfall amounts were expected along Lake Superior's northwest shore.
The snow may also be very wet and heavy as temperatures will hover around the freezing mark or slightly above zero at times which could make travel hazardous.
Meantime, officials with the Littlefork-Big Falls and Indus schools have delayed openings by two hours Wednesday. There are school bus cancellations in the Rainy River district.
