Be very careful if walking or driving: Environment Canada

Freezing rain continues into Wednesday according to Environment Canada, which warned that icy surfaces could be difficult to detect.

There is risk of injury due to slips and falls. Be very careful if walking or driving.

Several hours of freezing rain and 1 to 5 mm of ice accretion or build up is expected across the Durham Region.

Areas near the Lake Ontario shoreline may see very little ice accretion or build up. Reduced visibility in heavy snow is expected. Local snowfall amounts of 2 to 5 cm in an hour are possible.

Freezing rain, which may be mixed with snow or ice pellets at times, is expected to change over to heavy snow as an area of low pressure moves through southern Ontario.

Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Visibility will likely be reduced at times. If driving, turn on your lights, slow down and maintain a safe following distance.
