Weather Monitoring & Servicing December 28, 2025

To our valued clients,

We want to keep you fully informed about the current weather conditions and the significant salt shortage affecting all of Southern Ontario. This morning, we’re expecting a mix of freezing rain turning into heavy rain throughout the day, with temperatures rising to around plus 4 to plus 5 degrees Celsius in all regions. This warmer weather should help break up the freezing rain initially, but as temperatures drop below zero tomorrow, we want to ensure we have salt available for when conditions refreeze.

Southern Ontario-Wide Salt Shortage
As you may know, the entire region is currently facing a salt shortage that affects all suppliers, not just ours. While we’ve referenced information from one of our major suppliers, Legends Landscape Supply Inc., this is a widespread issue across Southern Ontario. The salt mines are prioritizing cities and municipalities first for public safety, which means all contractors are dealing with limited salt supplies.

Our Preparedness and How to Stay Updated
We are fully prepared and on call to respond as the situation evolves. Because of the shortage, we are conserving salt for when temperatures drop again, ensuring we have what we need when conditions refreeze. We encourage you to check our Snow Line on our website, which will be updated regularly with our plans and actions. We will also continue to keep you informed directly.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. We appreciate your continued trust in Paramount Landscaping, and your safety is always our top priority.

Paramount Service teams began a service run as of 3:00 PM on December 26, 2025. All properties received a full plow service followed by a salt service run.

Throughout the day on December 26, beginning around 9:00 AM, all regions experienced scattered flurries with temperatures below freezing, sitting at -1°C. By approximately noon, snowfall increased, and some accumulation was observed before conditions transitioned to freezing rain. Most sites across London and Woodstock received anywhere from a centimeter to 3cm of snowfall.

All properties were plowed across these regions by approximately 11:00 PM on December 26. The subsequent salt service run was completed by approximately 4:00 AM on December 27.  With temperatures well below freezing, the salt service run was performed to help combat the snow that fell, as well as to combat any slippery areas that may arise due to the falling temperatures.

All teams remain on standby should further servicing be required.
