We’re getting ice — just not the way we expected it.
Following snow and rain that turned streets into slushy swamps, Ottawa will have colder air that will freeze everything where it lies.
Temperatures should drop beginning Thursday afternoon.
“The big issue is the freeze-up which is going to be occurring,” said Peter Kimbell of Environment Canada.
“Temperatures falling below zero this (Thursday) afternoon and continuing to fall as we go forward tonight.
“Everything is going to turn to ice and that will definitely have an impact on roads, sidewalks and driveways as all that water turns to ice.”
A car rolls through a large puddle on Northwestern Avenue. When the temperature expected to fall Thursday afternoon and evening, Ottawa’s wet streets could become skating rinks.
That includes bulky slush piles and ruts in snowy side streets.
The forecast low Thursday night is -15 C.
Environment Canada recorded 22 millimetres of rain during the storm Wednesday and Thursday at Ottawa International Airport, and 28 mm at the Central Experimental Farm.
“We were pretty lucky,” said Kimbell: Brockville had 47 mm and Kemptville had 45 mm.
