Environment Canada has lifted the yellow advisory for freezing drizzle in Ottawa-Gatineau and most of eastern Ontario.
The Sunday morning advisory warned light ice build-up will make surfaces icy and slippery, adding that icy surfaces could be difficult to detect.
The agency’s forecast expected the freezing drizzle and any light snow to end early in Sunday afternoon.
Cities including Kingston, Belleville, and Quinte West were outside the southern reaches of the advisory. Instead, they were under a special weather statement for freezing rain or freezing drizzle, which has also been lifted.
Special weather statements, which appear in grey on the weather service’s map, give information about a weather event that is potentially significant but doesn’t quite reach warning-level criteria, which are shown in yellow, orange and red.
