Environment Canada has now issued a snowfall warning for the Kawarthas region for Wednesday (February 18) — but the good news is that freezing rain is longer expected.
A “yellow” warning for snowfall is in effect for southern Peterborough County, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and Northumberland County.
A low pressure system is expected to bring snow and ice pellets to the region beginning Wednesday morning and continuing through Wednesday evening.
Snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 cm are expected, with the snow mixed with ice pellets at times.
Travel will likely be challenging, and there may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic.
Visibility will likely be reduced at times. Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions, and allow extra time for travel.
