Environment Canada has issued a “yellow” snowfall warning for the entire Kawarthas region beginning Wednesday night (January 14) and lasting into Thursday evening.
The snowfall warning is in effect for Peterborough County, Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland County, Haliburton County, and Hastings Highlands.
A developing low pressure system will bring significant snowfall to much of southern Ontario. A sharp temperature drop leading to cold wind chills by Thursday morning, during ongoing snowfall, will add to the adverse weather conditions.
In the Kawarthas region, the snow will begin Wednesday night and continue into Thursday evening, before tapering off Thursday night. Snowfall amounts of 15 to 25 cm are expected.
There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic.
Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Allow extra time for travel.
