Environment Canada extended a freezing drizzle alert to include Waterloo region and parts of Wellington County, but has since lifted it.

On Monday at 7:20 p.m., the weather agency said freezing drizzle was expected to occur Monday night, and might last until Tuesday morning.

“Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Freezing drizzle can produce thin, hard-to-detect layers of ice,” the weather alert says. “Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas.”

After some slippery sidewalk and road conditions Tuesday morning, Enviornment Canada lifted the advisory at 8:10 a.m.
