Snow has returned to northeastern Ont.
As fall quickly approaches, leaves have begun to change colours and temperatures have started to dip in northeastern Ontario – perhaps starting to bring unwelcome wintry weather.
With frost advisories in effect for parts of the region and temperatures dipping near or below-freezing in some areas, many took to social media on Saturday to say they saw snowflakes.
Environment and Climate Change Canada does not list any snow accumulations for Greater Sudbury, Timmins, North Bay or Sault Ste. Marie for Sept. 7 – meaning the flakes likely melted as they hit the ground.
One northern Ontario resident shared dashcam footage (shown above) on social media of what they called the "first snow of the year" Saturday evening.
The video shows snow falling along Highway 11 north of North Bay, Ont. in the early evening on Saturday.
