Blizzard across Prairies
Kemptville in store for freezing rain then wind

An arctic cold front is racing across the Prairies today with tremendous temperature drops and blizzard conditions. Winds are gusting to 70km/h producing white out conditions and dangerous wind chills. 5-10cm of snow is falling with this system. It has dropped from plus 2C in Swift Current to -28C with a windchill of -47C. The dangerous front is racing across Saskatchewan after plunging Alberta into the arctic deep freeze. Temperatures are in the middle -30's in Alberta. Next in line will be Manitoba where warnings have been posted.

The leading edge of the system will bring Freezing Rain to parts of Ontario tomorrow. Warnings are expected to be posted in our area shortly after being issued for central and southern Ontario at 3pm. The rest of the week will be active with a strong windstorm possible along the arctic boundary on Wednesday followed by snow Friday. The winds may be as strong as the January 9th windstorm that produced damage, accidents and power outages.
Stay tuned for more exact details later this evening or early tomorrow morning. Watch the links on the left for any WARNINGS.
