What happened to an early summer?

An Ontario snow storm lefts parts of the province looking like a winter wonderland during the last week of May.

On Friday, residents of Simcoe County, Grey Highlands and other regions were greeted by more than a dusting of snow after temperatures plummeted to just above freezing.

The dramatic shift back to wintry conditions had many residents tweeting photos of the weather event.

Wet snow, freezing rain and ice pellets were just some of the wintry elements that ruined the early summer weather the province was enjoying.

The Weather Network reports that even spots just 10 kilometres northwest of Milton were reporting large snowflakes.

While some residents woke up with blankets of snow covering their backyards, others in the more southern regions were luckier.

Areas near the Lake Erie shoreline will be hit with around 20 millimetres of rain throughout Friday, sparing them from the white wonderland of their northern neighbours.


However, if you are caught in the snowy parts of the province today, South Simcoe Police is warning drivers to slow down due to wet road conditions.
