Environment Canada says we have to get ready for a prolonged period of freezing rain, bringing some serious hazards your way. Here’s what you need to know:
Hazards: 🌧️ Significant Ice Build-Up: Brace yourself for a thick layer of ice forming due to a prolonged freezing rain spell. ❄️ Ice Accretion: Anticipate ice accumulation ranging from 5 to 10 mm.
Timing: The freezing rain show kicks off this evening and takes a bow Thursday morning.
Discussion: Today, expect freezing drizzle or light flurries. As the day progresses, this will transition into a freezing rain extravaganza starting this evening and sticking around for many hours before bidding adieu on Thursday morning.
What to Expect: Watch out for icy surfaces on highways, roads, walkways, and parking lots. The ice build-up might even play havoc with tree branches and could lead to utility outages.
Safety Tips: Consider putting non-essential travel plans on hold until conditions get a makeover. Safety first, folks! 🚗❌
