A major spring ice storm could hit southern and northeastern Ontario this weekend, bringing dangerous conditions to the 88.1 myFM listening area.
A special weather statement warns of significant ice accretion, with freezing rain potentially coating surfaces with 5 to 15 millimetres of ice.
Some areas could see over 20 millimetres, along with 5 to 15 centimetres of snow and ice pellets.
Slippery roads, power outages, and broken tree branches are possible as ice builds up.
Just how hard our region will be hit remains to be seen.
The storm is expected to start late Friday and last until Monday. A brief break in freezing rain may come Saturday night before a second round begins.
Forecasters say confidence is growing in a prolonged storm, but exact ice accumulation amounts are still uncertain.
