The Weather Network advises that snow is expected to begin in the Peterborough area Thursday afternoon and become heavy at times throughout Thursday evening.
Total snowfall amounts of 10 to 15 centimetres are expected by Friday morning, with amounts exceeding 15 centimetres over the higher terrain north of Lake Ontario. Lesser snowfall amounts are forecast near the shoreline of Lake Ontario where snow may transition to rain.
Hazardous travel conditions due to heavy snow and blowing snow are also being reported, including for the evening commute. The Weather Network recommends ‘considering postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve’ and advises that visibility may be reduced due to the inclement weather.
