Freezing Drizzle Advisory Issued for Woodstock, Tillsonburg, and Oxford County
Environment Canada has issued a freezing drizzle advisory for Oxford County, warning of icy surfaces and minor ice accumulation through Wednesday night.
Alert Details
Environment Canada has issued a yellow advisory for freezing drizzle. The alert was triggered as the primary precipitation from a passing weather system exits the region, leaving behind a widespread area of freezing drizzle.
Affected Areas
The advisory is in effect for the following geographic locations:
- Woodstock
- Tillsonburg
- Oxford County
What You Should Do
Residents are urged to exercise caution when traveling or walking outdoors. Roads, walkways, and other surfaces will likely become icy and slippery, creating a risk of injury due to slips and falls.
Environment Canada recommends that the public continues to monitor local alerts and forecasts. To report severe weather, residents can email ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using the hashtag #ONStorm.
Expected Conditions
Periods of freezing drizzle are expected to lead to minor ice build-up. This lingering moisture will create hazardous conditions on most untreated surfaces across the region.
Timeline
