Durham Drive-Walk Alert: Careful on icy, slippery roads

Freezing rain warning in effect for Durham Region, according to an Environment Canada alert issued at 10:18 pm last night.

It said ice accretion may be limited during the onset as ground temperatures may be above zero. Freezing rain conditions may last through the overnight hours in some areas before changing to freezing drizzle or light snow by Friday morning.

“Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions,” said Environment Canada.

Freezing rain warnings are issued when rain falling in sub-zero temperatures creates ice build-up and icy surfaces.
