Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for Milton and the surrounding area.
The rain is expected to start early Tuesday morning, with ice accretion up to a few millimetres is possible on untreated surfaces. Here’s what Environment says in the warning:
A period of freezing rain is expected beginning early Tuesday morning. A few millimetres of ice accretion is possible on some surfaces. Freezing rain is expected to change over to light rain by late Tuesday morning or early afternoon.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas.
As always, drive safe. If you’re unsure about driving in these conditions, stay home.
