There could still be some patchy freezing drizzle this afternoon.

Fog advisories for the Stirling-Tweed and Bancroft areas have also ended.

Hope for temperatures to climb above the freezing point where you live, but the cold air does tend to hang around in the Ottawa Valley.

Blustery easterly winds will shift southerly by afternoon, but the temperature will struggle to get above 0 degrees.
