Winter 2007/2008 will not ease!
More snow on the way....

Hey folks sorry for the lack of updates this weekend, I was busy taking in the sights and sound of Winterlude in Ottawa. It was, well, winter....breezy, chilly and snowy.

Environment Canada has had a rough go of it lately having trouble with the last several forecasts....they have not issued any warnings yet for this next system, not sure why.
Another blast of wintry weather is on the way for our region. This is occuring rapidly on the heels of the arctic front that raced through the region this past weekend. Many areas of the province and into the northeast were affected by strong winds and blowing snow.Several roads around the lakes were blown closed. The wind has eased this morning but replaced with spine chilling cold. It is currently -24C in Kemptville.

The next in a steady parade of winter storms to affect the province is developing in the lower Mississippi Valley. The system will race northeast towards New York State and then east into the Atlantic. Our region will be on the northern edge of the storm. We can expect a chilly northeast wind to develop today followed by snow after the supper hour tonight. The snow will be steady overnight and taper off by noon on Wednesday. Expect 10-15cm of snow over most areas. While no warnings are in effect yet in Ontario, they have been posted for all of New York state where a Winter Storm warning is in effect for 15-20cm of snow.
