Squalls continue...


The winds continue to howl across Ontario and Quebec as well as New York State today. As of 4pm wind warnings remain in effect in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Snow squalls have been affecting our area all day with the most intense along the 401 from Cornwall to Trenton. These should subside later today. They are also occurring along I-81 near Watertown and in the Buffalo area. Lake shore flooding that occurred in Buffalo and Niagara has also began to recede as winds taper.

Hydro One is reporting 16,000 without power in the province down from 50,000 earlier today.

Our attention will now turn to the next developing storm that could bring snow to our area by Friday. A general 10-20cm may fall. More details tomorrow morning.

Squalls put down 2-5cm of snow in Kemptville today.
