Freezing Rain Warning

An area of freezing rain and snow associated with low pressure and a warm front over the Great Lakes will move across eastern Ontario and southern Quebec tonight. Expect 5cm of snow before a gradual changeover to freezing rain after midnight. The freezing rain may accumulate 2-5mm of ice before temperatures warm well above freezing. It will be warm on Friday, close to plus 8 in the afternoon which should melt any ice that falls.

Travel may be poor overnight especially in the Ottawa Valley and the St. Lawrence Valley from Cornwall northeast. The 416, 401, 417, 20 and 40 will be affected.
