The threat of freezing rain has passed for southwestern Ontario.
Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning Thursday for people in Windsor-Essex, Chatham-Kent, Sarnia-Lambton, London-Middlesex, Oxford-Brant, and Huron-Perth.
That warning ended early Friday morning.
"A wintry mix of precipitation is expected beginning [Thursday] evening," read the warning from Environment Canada. "Precipitation may begin as rain or ice pellets in some areas before transitioning to freezing rain and ice pellets. Ice accretion may be limited during the onset as ground temperatures may be above zero. Freezing rain conditions may last through the evening hours before changing to freezing drizzle or light snow by early Friday morning."
Travel Thursday night and early Friday morning may be slippery. Freezing rain warnings are issued when there is a possibility of rain falling in subzero temperatures, resulting in icy buildup on surface roads, bridges, and overpasses.
