Environment Canada issued a winter weather travel advisory for the Quinte region Wednesday.
The weather agency warns of brief heavy snowfall that could quickly accumulate to two to four cm of snow.
It also warns of poor visibility in heavy and blowing snow.
The weather is set to make its way through the area late in the morning into the early evening.
“A sharp cold front is expected to move south through the area late this morning or this afternoon,” the weather agency says in the advisory.
“Narrow bands of heavy flurries combined with gusty northwest winds associated with the front will lead to a relatively short but sudden drop in visibility. The front and associated bands of heavy snow are expected to clear the region later in the afternoon or early evening.”
