A special weather statement has been issued for the North Bay area.

Environment Canada says people should expect a major winter storm Sunday into Monday.

An intense low pressure system is expected to bring a significant mix of wintry precipitation to much of northern Ontario Sunday into Monday, including snow, ice pellets and freezing rain. Some areas may see rain as well.

Significant ice accumulation may be possible and widespread power outages are expected where freezing rain is the primary type of precipitation.

Environment Canada also issued a fog advisory on Friday morning.
