Special weather statement

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the North Bay area.

The statement says a mix of wintry precipitation including snow, ice pellets and a risk of freezing rain, is expected to begin Friday afternoon and taper off in the evening.

Latest analysis suggests that any freezing rain will be rather light and patchy.

However, the area is being monitored for potential freezing rain warnings.

Motorists should be prepared for potentially icy road conditions and adjust their travel plans accordingly.
