Brace yourself for another round of freezing rain.

There's a threat of nasty precipitation the night of Feb. 20, according to Environment Canada, which has issued a special weather statement for York Region.

“Freezing rain is expected to affect Southern Ontario Wednesday night as another large low pressure system brewing over the Southern Plains moves toward the Great Lakes,” the weather agency said.

“Snow will arrive Wednesday afternoon, then quickly change over to freezing rain Wednesday evening. Freezing rain or freezing drizzle will then change to occasional rain or drizzle by Thursday morning as temperatures edge above the zero degree mark.”

Travel may be affected and roads and sidewalks could be slippery.
