Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for northern Peterborough County including Apsley, northern Kawartha Lakes including Fenelon Falls, and Haliburton including Minden.
These areas can expect up to 15 centimetres of snow, beginning later today (February 3) and continuing tonight and Sunday.
A low pressure centre currently over the Dakotas is forecast to track across Georgian Bay early Sunday and into southern Quebec by evening. Although it is a relatively weak system, it will absorb some moisture from the Great Lakes tonight and Sunday.
A few locales may exceed 15 centimetres of snow, especially near the Bruce Peninsula and to the east of Georgian Bay.
Other areas in the Kawarthas, including Hastings, southern Peterborough County, southern Kawartha Lakes, and Northumberland can expect between 5 and 10 centimetres of snow by Sunday night.
Motorists should allow extra time to reach their destination due to accumulating snow and lower visibility in falling snow.
Environment Canada may issue a snowfall warning if it appears amounts will be appreciably higher than initially forecast.
