Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for most of the greater Kawarthas region for Wednesday afternoon (March 30) into the evening.
The freezing rain warning is in effect for Peterborough County, Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton County, and Hastings County.
Precipitation is forecast to begin early Wednesday afternoon as snow, ice pellets, or freezing rain but will quickly transition to a period of freezing rain in the late afternoon.
Two to four hours of freezing rain will be possible before the precipitation ends late Wednesday evening or overnight.
Ice accretion of 2 to 4 mm is possible, especially over higher terrain.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Ice build-up may cause tree branches to break. Utility outages may occur.
