Today is expected to be the last day of unseasonably mild weather, before the normal winter temperatures return, just in time for the weekend.
Flooding and unstable ice are the two major concerns at this time of year.
Residents, children and pets are being advised to stay away from all watercourses, while police are urging residents to stay off the ice as milder weather has brought rapidly deteriorating ice conditions.
Today’s double-digit temperature could be a record-breaker in some areas.
Warm weather and thinning ice is a dangerous combination for all ice users. There is only one absolute when it comes to spring ice safety – just stay off. #NoIceIsSafeIce #OPPSAVE ^in. pic.twitter.com/h9qoXP1aXT
