Spring is technically here but it appears the wintry weather is sticking around a little bit longer.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the region with possible freezing rain or snow arriving late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. The freezing rain could last for several hours in some areas.

A Colorado low pressure system is making its way through central and eastern Ontario Tuesday, starting off as light rain or snow before possibly transitioning to freezing rain, according to the weather agency.

Some areas, including Renfrew, could see as much as five to 10 centimetres of snow.

Environment Canada said motorists should be prepared for "potentially challenging driving conditions late Tuesday into Wednesday."
