We are expecting freezing rain tonight!
Environment Canada has issued a warning for Milton and the surrounding area. The forecast has a millimetres of freezing rain, leading to ice accretion on the roads. Here’s what the warning has to say;
A wintry mix of precipitation is expected beginning this evening. Precipitation may begin as rain or ice pellets in some areas before transitioning to freezing rain and ice pellets. Ice accretion may be limited during the onset as ground temperatures may be above zero. Freezing rain conditions may last through the evening and overnight hours in some areas before changing to freezing drizzle or light snow by early Friday morning.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions.
Freezing rain warnings are issued when rain falling in sub-zero temperatures creates ice build-up and icy surfaces.
