A broad area of freezing rain and ice pellets is forecast to move in this morning across most of the Nickel Belt, associated with a large and strong low pressure area moving toward Northern Ontario. The area of freezing precipitation will gradually move northward, affecting much of Northeastern Ontario today. Several hours of freezing rain or ice pellets are expected for most regions before changing to rain as the mercury rises above the zero degree mark. Travel may become dangerous due to ice forming on untreated surfaces.
