A freezing rain warning that was issued by Environment Canada this morning has been extended with more slippery conditions expected into the evening.
Several hours of freezing rain can be expected through this evening associated with a Colorado Low. Freezing rain will change to all snow towards midnight as much colder air arrives in from the north in the wake of the low.
Several millimetres of ice accretion will be possible with some areas also receiving several centimetres of snow tonight.
