Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for most of the Kawarthas calling for up to 15 cm of snow today.
The special weather statement includes Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland, and Hastings, but Haliburton is not affected.
A low pressure system from Texas is expected to bring between 5 and 10 cm of snow for most of the region, although areas close to Lake Ontario such as Cobourg and Port Hope may see as much as 10 to 15 cm.
Brief bursts of heavier snow and occasional periods of low visibility will result in poor winter driving conditions during the morning and afternoon commute. Motorists should allow much extra time to reach their destination.
The snow is expected to end later this morning or early this afternoon.
