Environment Canada advises to drive carefully, as untreated roads will be close to winter conditions. Power outages are a possibility with the amount of ice expected to accumulate and winds gusting up to 60 km/h. Flooding could also be a possible outcome.
However, the rain should slow down and eventually stop by Monday.
