Warmer temps cause sleet storm aftermath called falling ice

Warmer temperatures Thursday brought the inevitable aftermath of sleet and freezing rain — falling ice. Police closed parts of Yonge St. at Gerrard, College and The Esplanade because of dangerous chunks of ice. Police were later sent to Lake Shore Boulevard West and Dan Leckie Way for reports of “large chunks” of ice falling from a high-rise. This may be a forecast of things as a high of 3 has been posted for Friday.
