Oh no, Environment Canada is changing to alert colour levels, which sounds like the UK approach.

Problem they probably haven't thought through, is that the language is a bit different here! We've had a good laugh at the UK warnings that proclaim "Yellow Snow Warning" which means a very specific and funny thing to Canadians.

How will they avoid the same language here?

Canadians seeing a chart like this would cancel travel plans: "Ew, let's stay home."
