Environment Canada has issued a winter weather travel advisory for most of the greater Kawarthas region on Friday (February 25).
The advisory is in effect for Peterborough County, City of Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland County, Hastings County, and southern Haliburton County.
A low pressure weather system is bringing a swath of snow to the region that will end by early Friday afternoon in the western parts of the Kawarthas region and by this evening in the eastern parts of the region.
Snow will be heavy at times, with snowfall accumulations near 5 cm in Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, southern Haliburton, and western Northumberland, with 5 to 10 cm in Hastings County and 10 to 15 cm in eastern Northumberland County.
Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways, and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
