Service Notice – February 2026: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For 2026, changes are expected to include... 1) ECCC's initiative to introduce free-form polygons to represent the true threat area of a weather hazard is tentatively set for Spring 2026 deployment. Data changes will appear in CAP following this deployment and 2) other minor improvements and corrections. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service – février 2026: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour 2026, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) l’initiative d’ECCC visant à introduire des polygones libres pour représenter la véritable zone de menace d’un danger météorologique devrait être déployée provisoirement au printemps 2026. Des changements de données apparaîtront dans le PAC à la suite de ce déploiement et 2) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures.

Freezing rain expected Wednesday. What: Freezing rain with ice build-up of 3 to 7 mm for some areas. Freezing rain mixing with ice pellets and snow at times. Icy and slippery conditions. When: Beginning overnight or early Wednesday morning, and tapering off by Wednesday evening. Additional information: A low pressure system is expected to bring freezing rain and ice pellets to the region on Wednesday. ### Roads and walkways will likely become icy and slippery. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic. There is risk of injury due to slips and falls. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #ONStorm.

Messy winter conditions expected Wednesday. What: Icy and slippery conditions. Mix of snow, ice pellets and freezing rain. Snow and ice pellet amounts up to 5 cm possible. Multiple hours of freezing rain possible, predominately for areas west of the city of Toronto. Ice build-up of a few millimetres is possible. When: Beginning early Wednesday morning and continuing through Wednesday evening. Additional information: A low pressure system is expected to bring a wintry mix of snow, ice pellets and freezing rain to the region on Wednesday. ### Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic. Winter Storm Warnings are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather (such as snow, freezing rain, wind and rain) are expected or occurring. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #ONStorm.

Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Allow extra time for travel.

Hazardous winter conditions expected Wednesday. What: Icy and slippery conditions due to a mix of snow, ice pellets and freezing rain. Snow and ice pellet amounts up to 5 cm possible. Multiple hours of freezing rain possible, predominately for areas west of the city of Toronto. Ice build-up of a few millimetres is possible. When: Beginning early Wednesday morning and continuing through Wednesday evening. Additional information: A low pressure system is expected to bring a wintry mix of snow, ice pellets and freezing rain to the region on Wednesday. Both the morning and evening commutes will be affected. Note that even a few centimetres of ice pellets can result in travel conditions that can be more hazardous than heavy snowfalls. Ice pellets result in reduced traction on roadways and are difficult to shovel due to their dense nature. ### Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate. Winter Storm Warnings are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather (such as snow, freezing rain, wind and rain) are expected or occurring. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #ONStorm.
