Freezing rain warning ends for Ottawa

Environment Canada has ended the freezing rain warning in Ottawa.

The freezing rain warning that was issued by Environment Canada for Friday has ended.

Ottawa residents endured another day of freezing rain Friday morning, which made roads and sideways icy and slippery.

Environment Canada issued the warning for Ottawa and eastern Ontario on Thursday.

The weather agency forecasted ice accretion of 5 to 10 mm.

"An episode of freezing rain similar to the one experienced Wednesday and Wednesday night will affect the area. Several hours of freezing rain are likely," Environment Canada said.

"Some locations may see a changeover to rain Friday if temperatures rise above the freezing mark."

The freezing rain forced the cancellation of school buses in Ottawa and eastern Ontario on Friday for a second consecutive day.
