Environment Canada has issued a winter weather travel advisory for the entire Kawarthas region for Tuesday (January 28) into Wednesday morning.
The winter weather travel advisory is in effect for Peterborough County, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland County, Haliburton County, and Hastings Highlands.
Snow will quickly move into the area from the northwest late Tuesday afternoon or early evening as an Alberta clipper low moves through the area. The snow will continue overnight and taper off Wednesday morning.
Southern areas of the Kawarthas can expect snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm, with 10 to 15 cm in the northern areas. There will be reduced visibility at times in heavy snow.
Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas.
