The advisory is in effect from this evening into early Tuesday morning.

Peterborough could expect snowfall amounts of 5 to 10 cm, possibly higher. Drivers could face reduced visibility in heavy snow and local blowing snow with icy and slippery road conditions.

Environment Canada predicts that rain showers are expected to quickly change to snow this afternoon or evening as colder air moves into southern Ontario. Snow could become heavy at times during the evening or overnight. Increasing northwest winds gusting to 50 km/h may result in localized areas of blowing snow in exposed areas.

Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather.

Environment Canada reminds drivers to be prepared to adjust your driving to changing road conditions. Turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance if visibility is reduced while driving.
