Narps....

It's raining heavily on the escarpment at the moment; a couple more degrees and it will be ice.

You are further east than me...but it's heading your way.

On Monday, the tail end of the storm, you shouldn't be delayed. Enjoy Virginia.

Hundreds of thousands of eastern Canadians face power outages due to ice storm



Over 300,000 Canadians faced power outages in parts of Ontario on Sunday as an ice storm pummeled the region over the weekend, according to electricity provider Hydro One.

Environment Canada issued winter storm warnings for freezing rain in Ottawa, parts of Quebec and Ontario, with the risk of snow mixed with or transitioning to ice pellets expected to continue until Monday morning in some regions.

“Outages are largely being caused by tree limbs and branches being weighed down from the accumulation of freezing rain,” Hydro One said on its website, noting there is also the risk of flooding for central Ontario.

Spring ice storm leaves over 400,000 without power in Ont., Que.
