I was out today, and the wind is so strong, a few times I had to stop walking because you couldn't walk against it. The freezing rain has started. I wish I was South right now Its been a brutal winter and spring here.
Freezing rain warning in effect for:
Rain is changing over to freezing rain as expected. The freezing rain could be mixed with ice pellets at times and will persist into this evening.
A lull in precipitation is likely this evening with patchy freezing drizzle expected. However, freezing rain will become widespread again and persist into Sunday before changing to rain. Significant rain may fall Sunday afternoon into Sunday night creating localized flooding.
Ice build up to 25 mm appears likely across Southwestern Ontario by Sunday morning. It may exceed that in some locales. Strong winds gusting to 70 or 80 km/h are also expected today through Sunday. The combination of excessive ice accumulations and strong winds will likely result in widespread power outages due to fallen trees and power lines.
Dangerous winter driving conditions are expected on untreated roads Saturday and Sunday, worsened by fallen tree limbs.
Travel is not recommended. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots will become icy, slippery and extremely hazardous. Beware of branches or electrical wires that could break under the weight of ice. Extended and widespread utility outages are possible. Public Safety Canada encourages everyone to make an emergency plan and get an emergency kit with drinking water, food, medicine, a first-aid kit and a flashlight.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@canada.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
