Much of the GTA is under a freezing rain warning this morning as a messy mix of winter weather arrives Monday.
Environment Canada said precipitation is expected to begin this morning, bringing “patchy freezing drizzle” to the region before changing to freezing rain.
“Freezing rain, which may be mixed with snow or ice pellets at times, is expected to change over to rain or snow as an area of low pressure moves through southern Ontario,” the weather advisory said.
“Areas near the Lake Ontario shoreline may see very little ice accretion or build up.”
The national weather agency noted that roads and walkways will likely be icy and slippery during the inclement weather.
“Icy surfaces could be difficult to detect. Local utility outages are possible. There is risk of injury due to slips and falls,” the advisory continued.
School boards across the GTHA have cancelled buses in anticipation of the messy weather later today.
