The never ending winter continues!

Plowing the 401 east this past Friday near Cardinal.

The next storm is on the horizon

Details on our upcoming storm are becoming a little more clear this afternoon. The low pressure area over Kansas this afternoon is forecast to move northeast to Indiana and then towards Lake Champlain. The storm will introduce and extended period of snow over our area. The first flakes should begin in North Grenville and Ottawa by mid morning Tuesday and spread east into Quebec. A few centimeters will be on the ground for the evening commute before the heavier snow arrives. Overnight tomorrow into Wednesday from 10-20cm will fall from Kemptville southeast towards Cornwall and into New York. North of Kemptville less snow is expected. No warnings have been posted for our region at this hour, but a Winter Storm Watch remains in effect for St. Lawrence, Franklin and Clinton County NY while it has been upgraded to a Warning for the rest of central and western New York.

I will update this weather event tomorrow morning. Plan for poor travel conditions on area highways from mid morning Tuesday through Wednesday for all of southern and eastern Ontario and southern Quebec.
