Even though it’s spring, Environment Canada has issued a winter weather travel advisory for the southern greater Kawarthas region for Monday evening (April 18) into Tuesday morning.
The advisory is in effect for southern Peterborough County, southern Kawartha Lakes, and Northumberland County.
Precipitation will likely begin as rain early Monday evening before changing over to snow, with 4 to 8 cm of snow expected by Tuesday morning before changing back to rain.
Above-freezing temperatures in areas along the shore of Lake Ontario may limit snowfall accumulation there, especially on surfaces such as roads and sidewalks.
Locally higher snowfall accumulations may occur over areas of higher terrain, including the Oak Ridges Moraine where temperatures will be slightly cooler.
Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
