More than 120,000 Hydro One customers were in the dark as of Saturday night as freezing rain coated central Ontario in a sheet of ice.
An update from Hydro One on their website says that outages are largely caused by fallen tree limbs and branches knocking out power lines. They also warn to keep clear of fallen power lines, even if they don’t appear to be live.
Police are urging motorists to avoid travel.
Numerous municipalities declared significant weather events. The freezing rain is expected to change to rain Sunday afternoon.
