It’s going to get slippery.
A special weather statement has been issued by Environment Canada for the Quinte region ahead of a weather system that is going to make the Monday morning commute very slow going.
Belleville, Quinte West, Northumberland County, Cobourg, Colborne and Prince Edward County are all expected to be affected.
Periods of rain are expected to develop Sunday afternoon and continue into Monday morning.
Temperatures will be very close to and even just below the freezing mark in some areas and as a result there will be the threat of freezing rain.
Local icy roads and sidewalks are expected.
In a few areas, temperatures may be just cold enough to allow for ice to accumulate on trees and wires, which could produce power outages.
Environment Canada will continue to monitor this situation closely.
