Welcome to 2008
A New Year...same weather

Thank you for reading and making my blog reach 2600 hits on New Years! I am always excited about the weather, and being able to share that with you is amazing for me...thanks!

Well January will begin the same way December ended, with snow. Winter Storm Warnings are flying up and down the St. Lawrence Valley at 11am. Low pressure over Lake Erie will move to Cape Cod while deepening today. Heavy snow has begun and will continue into the evening on increasing Northwest winds. Travel will be rough today so if you can delay go tomorrow. An expected snowfall of 15-25cm is expected across the region from Montreal to Kingston and south into northern New York. Ottawa will receive less at about 10cm and is not included in the warnings.

The snow will be followed by some of the coldest air of the season. Ironically enough that will be followed by near record warmth next week. So just hold out till weeks end and we should see a thaw begin on the weekend. Indications are it could warm to 8C by the middle of next week!
