Weekend ice storm woes continue into Monday

Parts of Hamilton are already dealing with flooding.

The City of Hamilton is asking residents to clear catch basins of snow and ice and say residents can report flooding to the contact centre at 905-546-2489.

A mix of snow, freezing rain, ice pellets, rain and powerful winds battered southern and central Ontario Saturday and Sunday.

It created treacherous road conditions and left tens of thousands in the dark.

Hydro One is working to reconnect thousands of customers still without power Monday morning.

Crews are mainly dealing with power lines and poles downed by high winds.

The #ONstorm continues to rage on and cause significant damage like these broken poles near Dundas, ON. Crews worked throughout the night and they’re back at it again this morning to restore power to over 66,000 customers. Visit our map for updates: https://t.co/q5Wq0lSjWT pic.twitter.com/vx4LP01mTs

While many schools are closed, officials are asking those that do have to go out to give themselves extra time and be extra cautious for the morning commute.

Good morning, Halton.

Schools are closed across our region today.

If you are making your way to work, please use full headlights and leave lots of braking distance. Standing water, ice and slush on the roads have created hazardous driving conditions. ^jh pic.twitter.com/XXaMt4T7ii
