Do you still have winter tires on your vehicle?
If you don’t, you might wish you did as we’re in for the some winter weather Monday night that could make for a slippery commute Tuesday morning.
Meteorologist Kevin Williams says we’ll be seeing the remnants of blizzards that hit Manitoba last week.
Though the precipitation will start as rain this evening, several centimetres of snow could fall.
Environment Canada has issued a Winter Weather Travel Advisory:
Weather advisory in effect for:
- Belleville – Quinte West – Eastern Northumberland County
- Cobourg – Colborne – Western Northumberland County
Winter Weather Travel Advisory in effect for this evening due to snow.
Hazards:
Snowfall amounts of 4 to 8 cm.
Reduced visibilities in snow.
Timing:
Early this evening through early Tuesday morning.
Discussion:
The onset of precipitation will likely begin as rain before changing over to snow. Above freezing temperatures and areas along the lakeshore may limit snowfall accumulations, especially on surfaces such as roads and sidewalks. Locally higher snowfall accumulations may occur over areas of higher terrain including the Oak Ridges Moraine where temperatures will be slightly cooler.
Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.
