The good news?

There seems to be even less traffic on the roads this morning than any day last week.

If you’re heading to work today, enjoy the drive.

More good news? Sure, why not.

While Ottawa awoke to temperatures around -9 C on Monday morning, that cold won’t last.

Environment Canada is predicting that we’ll hit -1 C today and 1 C tomorrow.

And now for the bad news:

Those rising temperatures mean that a freezing rain warning is in effect.

From Environment Canada:

“Freezing rain warning in effect for:

Ottawa North – Kanata – Orléans
Ottawa South – Richmond – Metcalfe

Freezing rain is expected to develop Tuesday morning.

Some snow or ice pellets are expected to develop overnight as a Colorado low begins to head towards the Great Lakes. It will change to some freezing rain early Tuesday morning and linger for much of the day before changing to rain towards evening. Some light accumulations of freezing rain are expected to make some untreated roads and sidewalks slippery.”

While this doesn’t sound like the same level of storm Ottawa received last week (see: There’s so much freezing rain in Ontario today people are skating on the streets), it’s best not to take weather like this lightly.

Plan for a significantly slower commute tomorrow morning.
