Orange-level warning for freezing rain "5:07 AM EDT Wednesday 11 March 2026 Impact Level: High Forecast Confidence: High Significant freezing rain event expected today. What: Prolonged period of freezing rain. Possibly up to 24 hours for some areas. Ice accretion or build up of 10 to 20 mm. When: Beginning early this morning and lasting through tonight. Additional information: A series of low pressure systems will lead to significant freezing rain across parts of southern Ontario. Freezing rain may fall heavily at times. In this case, the precipitation may not freeze immediately, which may lead to localized flooding in low lying areas. Temperatures over some areas across eastern Ontario closer to the St. Lawrence River may rise above the freezing mark this afternoon, which would lessen the amount of ice build up in these areas. Roads and walkways will likely become icy and slippery. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic. Prolonged utility outages are likely. Significant damage to property, including some buildings and trees, is likely due to the weight of ice. Be very careful if walking or driving. Stay away from fallen power lines."
#Ottawa continues to have an orange-level warning for freezing rain today with 10-20 mm forecast.

"12:09 PM EST Saturday 7 March 2026 Impact Level: Moderate Forecast Confidence: High Rainfall, combined with melting snow, is expected.
