Monday, November 30, 2015, 7:54 AM - Parts of Ontario woke up to a coating of ice and snow flurries Monday, but no significant accumulations were reported.

"Much of the province will be able to enjoy a seasonal day Monday with a sun/cloud mix in most places," says Weather Network meteorologist Matt Grinter.

Another system approaching southwestern Ontario Tuesday morning however, is set to bring rain, breezy conditions and the risk for freeing rain to some areas.

"There's a freezing rain risk in eastern and northeastern Ontario Tuesday morning with the risk of Ottawa valley to be socked into colder air longer," Grinter says.

"It is possible that any freezing rain that does occur could take several hours to change over to rain," adds Environment Canada in a special weather statement issued Monday morning. "The area most likely to see freezing rain appears to be the Ottawa River Valley from Hawkesbury to Ottawa to Pembroke."

Supercooled who insisted on it, I agreed and said go ahead and get it over and done with IF you refuse to go a single winter without them. But for those that are willing to take advantage of a much warmer than normal winter to skip the winters, this winter, I am telling you is the chance to do just that!

Heck, many people apparently don't even put on winters and make do without. Correct me if I am wrong, but many people have said they encountered many drivers in those snowstorms that drove with all seasons on. If there will be a year that people really do that, it is this year. I think the general idea is if you live in Tdot you wont generally deal with a winter wonderland. I am planning later on to make a poll asking "Did you or did you not put on your winters last winter?" If a substantial number say they didn't and lived to tell about it, this winter will be a walk, I mean DRIVE in the park!

You just drive a bit slower, and a bit more cautious, and give yourself a bit more room. No doubt if you follow those guidelines WITH dedicated winters, even better. But I've met plenty of people in far worse winter conditions who've gone their whole lives without.

Also, carry around with you a shovel in case you do get stuck. Shovel the snow out and you are golden. (if/when it snows if/when hard)
