Friday proved winter is not yet over, and the snow is continuing to impact the region, with road conditions remaining rough this morning.

Eastbound 401 is closed from Oxford Road 29 through to Cedar Creek due to a collision.

Westbound lanes were also closed, between Homer-Watson & Fountain street in Cambridge and Cedar Creek as well due to a collision, but have since reopened.

Highway 8 is fully closed in both directions between Seaforth and Mitchell due to inclement weather and poor road conditions.

Drivers are advised to find alternate routes for impacted areas and to adjust their driving habits according to road conditions.
