Freezing Rain in Canada

Definition: Freezing rain is rain that falls into a layer of cold air and then strikes an object on the earth that is at or below freezing temperature and forms a thin layer of ice. In Canada freezing rain occurs any time between late October and early May. 

The ice caused by freezing rain can be very dangerous and make walking and driving extremely hazardous. 

Environment Canada issues a freezing rain warning if more than four hours of continuous freezing rain are expected.
