A “potent” spring ice storm is on the way for a large portion of Ontario this weekend, bringing with it dangerous roads and the possibility of power outages, Environment Canada is warning.

The weather agency has issued special weather statements calling for between 5 and 20 millimetres of ice accretion from freezing rain over portions of northern, central, eastern, and southern Ontario.
