UPDATE Freezing rain pelts GTA but weather warning lifted in some spots

Freezing rain has turned some pockets of the Greater Toronto Area into a slip and slide.

While freezing rain warnings were issued by Environment Canada for the entire GTA Monday, the warnings were dropped for many communities shortly before 8 a.m. Tuesday. The worst is over for Toronto, Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton.

Freezing rain warnings remain in place for areas including Mississauga, Brampton, Milton, Halton Hill, York and Durham Regions.

Environment Canada's Geoff Coulson tells Moore in the Morning the temperature reading where you are is closely tied to what kind of road and sidewalk conditions you are dealing with.

"You really have to be aware that depending on where you are in the Greater Toronto Area you could be encountering some pretty icy conditions or just wet roads," Coulson said.

At about 7:15 a.m. Peel Paramedics shared that they had 20 calls on the go. Paramedics figured 45% of those calls were for slips and falls, many on the patient's own property.

Coulson says areas still covered by a freezing rain warning should transition to rain before noon but places like northern Durham and northern York Regions could continue to be dogged by freezing rain all day as they hover around zero degrees.

The freezing rain has prompted the cancellation of some school bus service in the GTA:

Durham Region: School buses CANCELLED for public and Catholic boards, schools OPEN

Halton Region: School buses CANCELLED for public and Catholic boards, schools OPEN except: Brookville, Kilbride, Limehouse, Pineview and Stewarttown
