Freezing weather

Leave yourself a little extra time to get to work this morning.

Environment Canada says the messy weather we got over the weekend may have tapered off but it’s freezing solid now as the temperatures plunge. You may have to take a hair dryer out to unfreeze the locks on your car this morning and then tug on the door to get it open.

The quick freeze may also have made some roads a little icy where they haven’t laid down salt.
