As per satellite and Canada Weather Information, severe weather system is gripping parts of Ontario and Quebec, with freezing rain warnings issued for several regions. Environment Canada has alerted residents to the potential for significant ice buildup, particularly near the Ontario-Manitoba border, where conditions are expected to be the most hazardous. In Quebec, areas in the north are also under warning, with between 2 mm and 5 mm of ice accumulation forecasted.
In Ontario, the situation is equally concerning, with a special weather statement in effect for significant rainfall in southern areas. Toronto is bracing for strong winds and rain, which could exacerbate icy conditions due to frozen ground. Meanwhile, eastern Ontario faced a mix of snow, strong winds, and rapidly dropping temperatures earlier this week, leading to hazardous travel conditions.
Residents are advised to exercise caution, as the combination of freezing rain, snow melt, and strong winds poses a significant risk to road safety and daily activities. The weather is expected to remain unpredictable over the coming days, with further updates from Environment Canada anticipated.
