Early-morning freezing rain has caused some school buses to stay in the parking lot Wednesday.

English and French buses are not running in Renfrew County and in more northern areas of Hastings and Frontenac counties.

Quebec schools are on their March break.

There are freezing rain warnings for Renfrew County, the Bancroft area and western Quebec early Wednesday. All expect a change to rain by noon.

Speaking of rain, there is also a rainfall warning north and east of Gatineau calling for 20 to 30 millimetres from Wednesday afternoon until Thursday evening. The warning doesn't go as far west as Shawville.

Special weather statements across eastern Ontario talk of 15 to 25 millimetres of rain Wednesday, then a temperature drop, wind and show Thursday.
