The first significant snowfall of the season in the Kawarthas region is expected for Sunday (November 9).

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Peterborough County, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland County, Haliburton County, and Hastings Highlands.

A low pressure system could bring significant snowfall to parts of southern Ontario on Sunday. Snow is expected to begin Sunday morning and continue through Sunday evening, with snowfall amounts of 2 to 10 cm possible in the Kawarthas region.

As Environment Canada’s confidence remains low with respect to the strength and track of the weather system, the areas affected and snowfall amounts may change.

Motorists should expect difficult winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Poor weather conditions may contribute to transportation delays.

Although there’s a chance of additional flurries on Monday and Tuesday, the snow is unlikely to hang around with higher temperatures forecast for later in the week.
