Environment Canada has issued a winter weather travel advisory for the southern Kawarthas region for Saturday (February 8).
The winter weather travel advisory is in effect for southern Peterborough County, southern Kawartha Lakes, and Northumberland County.
Snow associated with a fast-moving low pressure system will begin Saturday afternoon, and continue throughout the evening and overnight before tapering to flurries early Sunday morning.
Snowfall accumulations of 10 to 15 cm are expected, with the heaviest snowfall in the evening. There will be reduced visibility in areas of heavier 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.
Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance.
