Temporary signs posted outside of a new subdivision in King City give a good idea of how icy conditions were becoming in areas that were relatively close to the big city.

The icy roads led to a less than quick morning rush hour commute. This unfortunate driver lost control and took down a traffic signal on Dufferin just south of Steeles in Toronto (Downsview).

The wet soil, strong easterly winds and additional load from the ice were too much for this tree to bare. Eventually it come toppling down near Kipling and The Westway in Toronto (Etobicoke).

Icy geometry at its finest

This winter-wonderland photo is the highway 400 northbound on ramp from Rutherford Rd It was very icy!

Kettleby, like King City had significant ice accretion on most objects.

Between the still semi frozen ground and the soaking rains that have been persistent for nearly 5 full days, many fields slowly turned into small lakes. So not only was the freezing rain a nuisance for drivers and utility companies but it also added to the growing flooding situation in some places.

A ranch fence is covered with icicles, this is a great example of just how much rain was really coming down.
