Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for snowfall across much of the Kawarthas region on Monday (January 5).
The special weather statement is in effect for Kawartha Lakes, southern Peterborough County, and Northumberland County.
Snow will begin early Monday morning with total snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm before tapering off Monday afternoon. There will be reduced visibility at times in heavy snow.
Travel will likely be challenging, with roads and walkways difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
“Although modest snowfall amounts are expected, the timing of this snow will be problematic,” Environment Canada states.
“Because the holiday season is now behind us and traffic patterns should be closer to normal, this snow is expected to have more of an impact on the Monday morning commute.”
