Toronto tweets icy images after freezing rain blankets city

It's finally spring in Toronto, but it really doesn't look or feelthat way after freezing rain coated theregion with ice this week.

While the rain has come and gone, the ice is still here, and some Torontoniansare snapping some photographsof the aftermath.

Environment Canada had warned that anywhere from five to 20 millimetres of ice accumulations were possible Thursday as temperatures hovered around the freezing mark.

The precipitation left wires and trees covered in ice, which knocked out power for more than 10,000 people west of the city and about 28,000 north of it.

The wintry conditions forced more than 110 cancellations at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

The icy roads gave many GTA students an extra-long weekend, as classes were cancelled in Peel and Halton regions, and buses were halted in Toronto.

Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulsonsaid seeing some freezing rain in March isn't out of the ordinary.

If you have snow tires on your vehicle, you may want to keep them on a little longer just to be safe.

With temperatures expected to hit double digits on Sunday, it's fair to assume most of the ice will become a memory in a couple of days.

In the meantime, keep your head up for falling ice and trees, and be sure to salt your walkways.
