Highway 17 is closed south of Wawa amid the snow and wind.
Ontario's Ministry of Transportation say the highway's been closed between Wawa and Batchawana "due to weather", with no estimated time for reopening.
This comes as Environment Canada has a snow squall watch in effect for Agawa, Lake Superior Park, Searchmont, Montreal River Harbour, and Batchawana Bay, expecting 20 to 40 centimetres of snow by late tomorrow afternoon, with the heavy snow and blowing snow reducing visibility.
