Winter Storm Shifting to Wet Weather for Ontario

THUNDER BAY – The Christmas storm is shifting from heavy snow to rain, and possibly freezing rain for a large part of Ontario. For Thunder Bay snowfall amounts have dropped a great deal from the first predictions.

The mass of the predicted storm will likely slide east of the city.
