Officials warn that icy surfaces can be hard to see and may catch people off guard
Freezing rain is possible this evening in Gananoque and Mallorytown, raising concerns about icy and slippery conditions. Environment Canada says up to one to three milimetres of ice buildup could form on roads, sidewalks and other surfaces.
The freezing rain may be mixed with snow or ice pellets, which could reduce the overall impact. However, conditions may still become hazardous, especially for drivers and pedestrians. The weather system is expected to change over to all snow later tonight as a low-pressure system moves through southern Ontario.
Officials warn that icy surfaces can be hard to see and may catch people off guard. Drivers are urged to slow down and allow extra travel time. Walkways and steps may also become slippery.
Local utility outages are possible if ice builds up on power lines. Residents are encouraged to monitor weather alerts from Environment Canada. For road conditions, travelers can check Ontario 511 or call 5-1-1 for updates.
