Freezing rain is possible. What: Freezing rain leading to locally icy and slippery conditions. Ice accretion or build-up of up to 2 millimetres. When: Beginning early this evening then tapering off near midnight. Additional information: A low pressure system is expected to bring rain and possible freezing rain to the area beginning this evening. Confidence in the extent of the freezing rain is low as temperatures may remain slightly above the zero degree mark. Precipitation should diminish near midnight although patchy drizzle or freezing drizzle may persist into Friday morning. Roads and walkways may become icy and slippery. Icy surfaces could be difficult to detect. There is risk of injury due to slips and falls. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
