A Freezing Rain Warning has been issued by Environment Canada:
“Precipitation may begin early this morning as patchy freezing drizzle before changing to freezing rain. Freezing rain, which may be mixed with snow or ice pellets at times, is expected to change over to rain as temperatures rise above the freezing mark. Areas along the Lake Ontario shoreline may see very little ice accretion or build up.
“Roads and walkways will likely become icy and slippery. Icy surfaces could be difficult to detect. Local utility outages are possible. There is risk of injury due to slips and falls.
“Be very careful if walking or driving.”
