Chaos in Canada: Freezing Rain Wreaks Havoc in Ottawa and Montreal

Environment Canada - Freezing rain - Icy roads - Montreal - Ottawa - Winter weather

Stay tuned as freezing rain warnings cause chaos on roads and sidewalks in Ottawa and Montreal!

In a chilling turn of events, Ottawa and Montreal are facing the wrath of freezing rain warnings. Environment Canada has issued alerts for significant ice build-up in Ottawa, with up to 10 mm of ice expected. City crews are gearing up for the icy onslaught as temperatures fluctuate. Meanwhile, in Montreal, the Sûreté du Québec is cracking down on drivers not adjusting to the treacherous road conditions. Icy roads cancel buses in eastern Ontario, causing delays in exams and school schedules.

As the freezing rain warnings persist, Kingston is also under the freeze's spell, with caution urged around bodies of water as temperatures rise. Cataraqui Conservation warns of a mix of rain and freezing rain in the area. The freezing rain spectacle continues, leaving commuters and residents on edge.

In a twist of fate, the icy grip finally loosens as warnings end in Ottawa. However, slick road conditions persist, maintaining the risk for accidents. Montreal wakes up to a slick layer of ice, adding to the region's woes. The freezing drizzle gives way to a brief respite of sun and clouds, offering a temporary relief from the icy chaos.

Despite the freezing rain warnings lifting in Ottawa, the aftermath leaves slippery road conditions lingering. Commuters are advised to proceed with caution. In Montreal, road conditions remain hazardous, with warnings extending across eastern Ontario to southwestern Quebec. The freezing rain saga continues, reminding residents to stay vigilant and adapt to the ever-changing weather conditions.
