Environment Canada has issued a freezing drizzle advisory for much of the greater Kawarthas region until Wednesday morning (January 18).
The freezing drizzle advisory is in effect for Peterborough County, Northumberland County, Haliburton County, and Hastings Highlands.
Periods of freezing drizzle, at times mixed with snow, will continue into Wednesday morning. There is also a risk of freezing rain overnight. There is a risk of freezing drizzle in the City of Kawartha Lakes, but it is currently not included in the advisory.
Precipitation is expected to taper Wednesday morning.
Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance.
Freezing drizzle can produce thin, hard-to-detect layers of ice. Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas.
