THUNDER BAY – WEATHER – Thunder Bay’s weather for the final days of 2024 includes fluctuating conditions, from mild drizzle and rain to colder, sunnier days as we approach New Year’s Eve.
The weather forecast includes warm temperatures, along with the potential for freezing drizzle or rain, which could seriously impact our streets and sidewalks.
The weather conditions over the past several weeks have left many streets icy and rutted with ice and snow. Picton and Blucher Streets are like cattle trails, only that would be an insult to cows. While some sidewalks are amazing, others are in dire need of attention as they are like skating rinks. For anyone out walking off those amazing Christmas baking treats, be careful out there.
