Another storm on the way...

After the wind and ice of yesterday, another winter storm is poised to hit Ontario Friday. A WINTER STORM WATCH has been posted for all of southern Ontario including Kemptville and southern Quebec as well. Snow will spread from west to east Friday becoming heavy in the afternoon. Freezing Rain and sleet are possible along the 401 corridor. Estimates currently are for 15-25cm of snow. The exact track of the storm will determine where warnings are needed later today. Tomorrow will be another difficult travel day in our area, plan your driving accordingly.

Meanwhile it was -59C in Uranium City, Sask yesterday, not a mistake or with the wind, for the coldest temperature on the continent. The extreme cold will ease in the southern Prairies today.

Above: PEI is in a state of emergency after two days of freezing rain. Power lines, poles and trees have toppled. Power is out to a major portion of the island and shelters have been set up.
