Residents in Aurora, Ontario, are being told to watch out for icy roads and sidewalks this evening, March 5, 2026, as weather experts warn of potential freezing rain. This risk comes as warmer temperatures begin to move into the area and mix with cold air near the ground.
According to The Weather Network, this temperature change can cause rain to freeze as soon as it hits the surface. These conditions often lead to ice building up on pavement, making it very slippery for drivers and people walking.
Forecasters at Environment Canada also expect a risk of freezing drizzle to last through the night. These conditions can make travel difficult on any streets or paths that have not been treated with salt or sand.
The risk of ice is expected to be most significant during the evening and overnight hours. Local residents are encouraged to be careful and check for weather updates before heading out for the rest of the week.
