Don't let the 20C weather this week fool you - tracking a blast of Arctic air early next week coupled with a system that could bring accumulating snow (possibly significant for some areas) to southern ON Monday evening into early Tuesday. Don't swap your tires just yet! #onstorm https://t.co/jH32gYtkQ5

Average precip. for entire month of April is 68.5 mm at YYZ - according to radar returns parts of the GTA received 80+mm yesterday into early this morning with a widespread 40-50 mm causing ponding, flooding on GTA roads. Give yourself some extra time this morning. #onstorm https://t.co/vgo9KHUKvM

Special weather statement issued ahead of next storm to hit southern ON on Wednesday. Areas hit by the weekend ice storm could see 2-5 mm of ice accretion Wednesday afternoon before a transition to rain/t-storms. GTA possible 30+mm of rain Wed.-Thur. #onstorm https://t.co/iAh0f1WYCC

RT @AnthonyFarnell: The weekend ice storm was one for the record books. https://t.co/GYhND0kH2R

Special weather statement for areas worst hit by ice storm, today the concern is north winds gusting to near 40 km/h - which could further damage unstable trees and power lines. Temps. also dropping below freezing by tonight not good for those without power. #ONStorm https://t.co/3tF0Bmb8LJ

RT @OPP_ER: Frontenac OPP have many reported incidents of trees blocking the road and Hydro wires down. Officers are assessing each one and…

In central and eastern Ontario this weekend’s ice storm getting close to surpassing the outages from the devastating April 2023 ice event - lives were lost then to falling trees and carbon monoxide poisoning so please be careful out there. #ONStorm https://t.co/YeZFGXfw86

A glaze forming on trees in southwest Scarborough as temps. hover around freezing 0.4C at YTZ/YYZ -0.3C #onstorm https://t.co/dO2wBXZY5P

Now near 68 000 Hydro One customers impacted by power outages…#onstorm

Already over forty thousand HydroOne customers in the dark this morning. That number expected to rise as tree branches start to come down under the weight of the ice. Hardest hit areas will be from Georgian Bay to Kingston. https://t.co/JtEcfTimmW

RT @AnthonyFarnell: There’s no easy way out when almost 100mm of precipitation is forecast over a weekend in late March. All rain and we ha…

Several factors including wind can determine ice accretion impacts but when you start getting 20+mm of ice on trees and power lines you could be looking at days not hours without power. Time to prepare if you're in an area expecting that amount of ice. #onstorm https://t.co/OunFQnYNto

Freezing rain warnings northern York and Durham for GTA where 5-10 mm of ice accretion possible but concern for significant freezing rain Parry Sound, Peterborough towards Kingston - 25 mm or more of ice accretion possible - power outages a big concern for those areas. #onstorm https://t.co/Ot98KYTZLC

RT @AnthonyFarnell: Environment Canada issues a special weather statement ahead of a potential weekend ice storm. Some areas could see over…

Heads up for possible multi-day freezing rain event (late Fri. to Mon. am). Still uncertainty on key aspects of forecast - incl. surface temps. Likely highest risk for significant freezing rain stretches from north GTA to northern and eastern ON - updates to come! #onstorm https://t.co/NXbwps9uf1
