Environment Canada’s winter weather travel advisory for the Kawarthas region is continuing for Wednesday morning (November 16).
The winter weather travel advisory is in effect for all of Peterborough County, the City of Kawartha Lakes, Hastings County, and Northumberland County.
In addition to the 5 to 10 cm of snow that fell in the region overnight on Tuesday, Environment Canada is calling for another 2 to 5 cm by noon on Wednesday for what it describes as “the first significant snowfall of the season.”
This snowfall is due to a low pressure system that will continue to track northeast across the region today. The heaviest snow will taper off by noon, with a lower chance of flurries throughout the afternoon and evening.
The snow could create hazardous driving conditions during the morning commute, with slippery roads and poor visibility due to heavy snow at times.
Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.
