Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the northern greater Kawarthas region for freezing rain Saturday night (March 5) into Sunday.
The special weather statement is in effect for northern Peterborough County, Hastings County, and Haliburton County.
A band of freezing rain is expected to move through the region Saturday night into Sunday as a strong low pressure area approaches the region from Colorado.
Freezing rain may persist for several hours before changing over to rain as milder air arrives on Sunday.
Untreated surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Local power outages may be possible.
Consider changing travel plans accordingly as hazardous winter travelling conditions are possible.
