A Special Weather Statement is in effect for Greater Napanee, Lennox and Addington County, and much of Eastern Ontario as a potent spring ice storm is expected to bring significant freezing rain from late tomorrow (Friday) through Monday.
Ice accretion amounts of 5 to 15 mm are likely, with amounts over 20 mm possible.
This could lead to slippery surfaces, broken tree branches, and potential utility outages.
The most severe ice accumulation is expected to affect central and eastern Ontario, with Kingston and surrounding areas at high risk.
A brief break in the freezing rain is expected on Saturday night before a second round of ice begins.
Residents should prepare for hazardous conditions, including slippery roads and potential power disruptions.
We will keep you up to date as the storm closes in, on air and here at NapaneeToday.ca.
