Environment Canada has issued a freezing rain warning for most of the greater Kawarthas region for Saturday (December 23).
The freezing rain warning is in effect for Peterborough County, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and Northumberland County.
A few hours of freezing rain are likely beginning early Saturday morning and ending by late afternoon.
Freezing rain is expected to be light, which should limit ice build-up to 2 mm at most.
For areas close to Lake Ontario, the threat of freezing rain will be less as temperatures are expected to be just above the freezing mark.
Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Slow down while driving in slippery conditions, particularly on untreated surfaces. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance.
