Round one over round two set

A break in the precipitation is expected today before more heavy snow crosses the province tonight. Expect another 10-20cm of snow across our regions. Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect for southern Ontario from Kingston to Windsor. Menwhile Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for upstate New York.
