A freezing rain warning now covers a significant portion of eastern Ontario and southern Quebec, with Environment Canada saying a “prolonged period” of freezing rain, potentially lasting up to 24 hours, could affect the region this week.
An orange warning for freezing rain has been issued, which means a high level of impact.
Between 10 and 20 millimetres of freezing rain and ice buildup is expected, according to the weather warning.
“How you can prepare: Ensure your cell phones and power banks are fully charged. Check your emergency kit: Make sure you have flashlights, fresh batteries, and a 72-hour supply of water and non-perishable food.”
Yup, just put my studded tires back on. I don’t have the option of staying home from work, and I’m expected to be on time, regardless of weather.
Good luck on the drive home!
Can’t wait! Going to be fun, except for all the people in my way. 😉
So far the impact seems not too bad where I am at (some freezing rain hitting the windows), but the wind is causing me concern for my shingles. 😬
Arr, shiver me shingles!
I was pleasantly surprised that the ground was still dry this morning, but that didn’t last long. Hopefully we’re only in for a light rain 🤞
There was a bit of ice forming on the ground when I went out for a short walk earlier, but nothing really impeding my traction.
I’m just glad it’s not the 9(?) cm of snow I thought we’d get… The snowblower broke and I dont have the money to buy the parts.
Edit… Spoke too soon… 😬
