Weather wonks ratchet up Toronto ice warning

Environment Canada is calling it a “major ice storm”. We better pay attention. There may be as much as 30 mm of ice accumulation on Toronto. This type of burden can cause power outages. But as always, it depends on the temperature as to whether it merely falls as rain. Saturday morning has passed with nasty but manageable ice. How much worse will it get before Sunday morning? Just stay safe. Air Canada, West Jet and Porter Airlines urged customers to check the status of their flights prior to leaving for the airport in case of possible flight delays and disruptions throughout the weekend.  Photo by Justin Plourde of Brampton shows softer side of an ice storm.
