Environment Canada has issued a snow squall warning for Kawartha Lakes for Sunday evening (December 18) through Monday morning.

Lake effect flurries and local snow squalls are forecast to develop Sunday evening and continue into Monday morning, with reduced visibility due to heavy snow and blowing snow.

Total snowfall of 15 to 25 cm is possible, with the highest amounts expected in an area extending from Port Bolster southeast to Springville and north to Kirkfield.

Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably. Changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common.

Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways, and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
