There is a freezing rain warning in place for much of Grey Bruce for Thursday.
Environment Canada says ice accretion up to a few millimetres is possible on untreated surfaces.
They say freezing rain, which may be mixed with ice pellets and snow, is expected to begin Thursday afternoon.
Freezing rain will transition to light flurries, possibly mixed with freezing drizzle, early Thursday evening.
Environment Canada says the risk of freezing drizzle will end Friday morning.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Ice build-up may cause tree branches to break. Utility outages may occur.
Both Grey and Bruce Counties have declared a significant weather event. Grey County says in a statement, “This declaration of a significant weather event isn’t notice of a reduced level of service or a road closure. It is to notify the public that due to the current or forecasted conditions, caution is to be observed when travelling on roads maintained by Grey County. It may take longer than usual to bring the roads back to optimal conditions.”
