my weather forecast for tomorrow includes 20 to 30 mm of ice (that's about 3/4 of an inch to over an inch)

A key concern remains the next disturbance which is expected to track from Texas and move towards the Lower Great Lakes Saturday evening. The moisture associated with this low is substantial and has the potential to produce a major freezing rain storm over portions of Southern and Eastern Ontario. Current information suggests 20 to 30 mm of freezing rain is possible starting Saturday afternoon and continuing Sunday morning.

As a result, ice accumulation on trees and power lines could potentially create widespread power outages and downed trees. Driving conditions on untreated roads could become very hazardous. Motorists and pedestrians should exercise caution and adjust travel plans accordingly.
