Buses cancelled, freezing rain warning in effect
A freezing rain warning is in effect for Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent.
According to Environment Canada, freezing rain will transition to rain or snow near midday and then eventually periods of rain or drizzle this evening as temperatures rise above zero — ice accretion of 2 to 4 mm is possible.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Ice build-up may cause tree branches to break. Utility outages may occur.
