Freezing rain, starting this evening, falling for up to 24 hours.
Well, they've closed the schools today. That's the first time that's happened in Ottawa all winter.

Some folks are calling this an ice storm. (The 1998 ice storm crippled the city for days, and the 2023 did some lasting damage, too. The power lines are buried in my neighbourhood, but the high-capacity lines from the generating stations to the transformer yards aren't, so if I lose power, so does everyone else and we won't get it back for a while.)
