Blustery winds also entered the region on Monday, causing more damage to trees and power lines, according to the Ontario Provincial Police in a press release.

Now, heading into the first week of April, we're looking at another icy system making its way to the province. Fear not, however, because this system, in comparison to the weekend's, will seem more like an icy glaze than a full-on storm.

A Colorado low moving into the Great Lakes region on Wednesday will once again bring all the precipitation spring has to offer to Ontario. Luckily, this will be a much shorter-lived event than the ice storm over this past weekend—beginning Wednesday afternoon and moving out of the province by Thursday morning.

Cities and towns still cleaning up from the weekend's ice storm, such as Barrie, Orillia, Peterborough, Bancroft, and Kingston, will once again be the unlucky targets for this next icy blast.

The silver lining will be the fact that this is a much faster-moving storm, only bringing 2-8 hours of freezing rain the region instead of the 20-35 hours over the weekend. The shorter duration will also limit ice accretion to 2-5 mm—still enough to make roadways and sidewalks dangerous, but not nearly as damaging as the 5-30 mm from the weekend.

Winds gusting to 50-70 km/h will also serve to limit ice accretion, but could also lead to an increase in localized power outages.
