Wednesday's icy forecast has cancelled all but a few school buses and closed some schools entirely across eastern Ontario and western Quebec. That amount of freezing rain falling does not necessarily mean that's how much ice will build up, according to Environment Canada. Areas north and east of Kingston could see precipitation change back and forth between rain and freezing rain. There is a yellow-level freezing rain warning just south of the orange warning, affecting communities such as Brockville and Tweed. Just south of that less severe freezing rain warning is a rainfall warning for Mallorytown and communities to its west such as Belleville and Kingston.
