KENORA – WEATHER REPORT – It is a cold and murky start to the day across Kenora and the Lake of the Woods region, where freezing fog is the main weather story this morning.

Wardrobe Recommendations
This is a full winter-layer morning. A warm coat, gloves, and hat are a smart choice, especially with the wind chill and freezing fog. Drivers should also be ready for low-visibility patches early in the day. For tonight and Wednesday, waterproof footwear will be useful again as fresh snow moves back into the region.
Weather Trivia
Freezing fog can be one of the sneakiest travel hazards in northwestern Ontario. Even when snowfall is light or absent, freezing fog can coat roads, vehicles, docks, and trees with a thin layer of ice while also cutting visibility dramatically. It is one of those conditions that can make a quiet-looking morning more hazardous than it first appears.
