Kenora – WEATHER – Overnight periods of snow arrive with a risk of freezing drizzle before morning—that’s the thin, hard-to-see ice coating that makes steps and bridges treacherous.

Through the morning, the snow ends, leaving it mainly cloudy. Wind shifts to west 20 km/h early this afternoon. High +2°C. Plan for slick spots on untreated roads and sidewalks during the morning transition.

Tonight — Mostly cloudy, a touch breezy early, refreeze late

Mainly cloudy. Wind west 20 km/h becoming light late this evening. Low –2°C, with wind chill near –5 overnight. Any wet surfaces refreeze, so expect patchy black ice toward dawn.

Sunday — Brighter and a little warmer

A mix of sun and cloud, high +4°C.
Sunday night: Cloudy periods, low –1°C.

What to wear & travel tips

  • Layers: thermal top, warm mid-layer, wind-resistant jacket.

  • Waterproof, grippy footwear for early slick spots and evening refreeze.

  • Driving: slow down for freezing drizzle glaze, give extra space on bridges and overpasses, and keep low beams on in any patchy morning mist.

Lake of the Woods weather trivia

Freezing drizzle forms when a shallow warm layer melts snow into drops that supercool in near-freezing air, then freeze on contact—why “wet” turns to “ice” fast.
