Freezing rain covers Toronto

Toronto went  below zero C last night and caused the city to experience a very icy condition across the city. A day before the ice storm the city temperature went well above 3 C. As a result, part of the previous snow melted and refrozen 24 hours later. Toronto roads are slippery and some old trees could not tolerate heavy weight of ice and fell down on streets and power lines.Some areas across the city, black out and power shortage is a major problem. Because of ice storm TTC stops using street cars to save the energy.250,000 of Toronto residents are without power(here). Toronto continues to have below zero C temperature so black ice will predominate on the city streets for more days to come.The park and street trees are covered with icy crystal clear freezing rain.
