Londoners got to enjoy some sunshine during the Family Day long weekend, but icy conditions will soon return.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for London, Ont., and nearby areas as the region could expect an ice storm mid-week, specifically late Wednesday into Thursday.

Meteorologists say long periods of freezing rain could lead to ice building up.

It’s unclear how icy the conditions will be and exactly where and when it’ll take place.
