Apparently tonight and tomorrow, the effect is the strongest. And after that, it will decline substantially and will be done by sunday.
I might take a risk and drive up north tomorrow, Thursday. Get some shots. Although I have to be at work by 6am in Hamilton ... We'll see.
How long of a drive is it to North Bay from Toronto? |

I think Sunday will be too late.
Based on below link (from the one you gave us), it will be mostly over by Saturday.

Good question. Look how far the person at Lake Simcoe sees it in the distance, and Lake Simcoe is northerly already (from T.O's point of view). Go north young man !!!

| I suppose will have to drive up near Barrie, maybe somewhere towards Sutton, looking north onto lake Simcoe. Only 1 hour drive |
