The weather forecast in Mississauga and across the GTA calls for freezing rain, causing icy and slippery surfaces.
“Freezing rain, at times mixed with ice pellets, is expected this morning mainly north of Hwy. 407. Ice accretion of several millimetres may be possible on untreated surfaces. The freezing rain is expected to transition to snow, possibly mixed with ice pellets, around midday,” a freezing rain warning issued by Environment Canada states.
