Amounts just north of the city were getting very high, the -5 temperature with the fluffy snow helped accumulations build up, look at the snow depth and it was only 5PM

Towards midnight the snow changed over fully to freezing rain and things got pretty ugly, I took a trip into Toronto at 1AM to drop a friend home, the ham radio antenna collected a good deal of ice.
