Northwestern Ontario Digs Out from Winter Storm

The Ministry of Transportation is reporting a number of area roads throughout the region as being snow covered or at least partially covered with slushy and or icy conditions.

A Winter storm caused several of the region's highways to be closed over the weekend with the last major Highway between Dryden and Sistonen's Corner near Thunder Bay, re-opened early yesterday morning.

Sergeant John Haley with the O.P.P. says traffic may be slowed or stopped as crews work to remove a number of vehicles that went into the ditch.

Haley says all of the highways in the area are open but some are still listing icy road conditions.
