More than a week into spring, winter is not done with us quite yet.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for possible snow, ice pellets, and freezing rain on Wednesday afternoon and evening (March 30).
The special weather statement is in effect for Peterborough County, Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton, and Hastings County.
A mix of snow and ice pellets is expected to move into the area Wednesday afternoon and persist into Wednesday night. Freezing rain is possible before precipitation changes over to rain overnight on Wednesday or early Thursday morning.
A freezing rain warning may be needed as the system approaches. However, there remains considerable uncertainty regarding the timing and amount of freezing rain.
Untreated surfaces such as roads, parking lots, and walkways may become slippery.
This story has been updated with the latest forecast from Environment Canada, including removing the estimate of 5 cm of snow and ice pellet accumulation.
