Driving conditions in Whitby
Squall lines off the lake can drop visibility and traction within a single commute. Most Whitby drivers we fit are running pickups, SUVs and commuter sedans, and they spend their kilometres on Highway 401, 412, Brock Street and Taunton. Lake-effect squalls arrive fast and localized. Winter tires from December through March are strongly recommended.
