- Belleville – Quinte West – Eastern Northumberland County
A winter weather travel advisory is in effect for Monday afternoon and Monday night.
Hazards: Snowfall accumulations of 10 to 20 cm. Low visibility in areas of heavier snow. Difficult travel conditions due to snow-covered and icy roads.
Timing: Beginning Monday afternoon and ending late Monday night or early Tuesday morning.
Discussion: Snow will advance into eastern Ontario Monday afternoon. The evening commute will likely be affected in more populated areas. The snow will taper off to flurries late Monday night or early Tuesday morning with a risk of freezing drizzle.
Confidence in exact snowfall totals is low at this point. Snowfall warnings may be issued for some areas as necessary. Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop.
