High winds knocked down trees, power lines and tossed debris from buildings and yards all over Windsor-Essex over the past 24 hours.
Trees also split and fell on power lines in Sandwich Town and in Walkerville.
A wind warning and blowing snow advisory were issued but have since ended.
Environment Canada Meteorologist Ryan Rozinski told AM800's "The Morning Drive" that wind gusts of 96-km/h were recorded at Windsor Airport twice over the past 24 hours.
"We saw it yesterday morning {Sunday} right around sunrise with a little area of showers that went through. Then we saw it again around midnight overnight," says Rozinskis.
He says the blowing snow combined with the heavy wind will also result in reduce visibility.
"You can go from patches of clear sky, perfectly good conditions and then drive right into one of these areas where visibility is suddenly reduced. Just highlighting for anyone travelling this morning, to be aware, that you can encounter those conditions," says Rozinskis.
The heavy wind is expected to diminish later Monday morning.
