The Nor'Easter forecast to hit our region today is just north of New York City at this hour. A wide swath of heavy precipitation is falling from northern Pennsylvania into southern Quebec and Eastern Ontario. It is currently 4C in our area with a steady rain and increasing north winds blowing at 30km/h.

Look for rain to continue in our area all day and gradually change to wet snow by the supper hour. Snow has been falling in many portions of New York State at upper elevations with as much as 10-15cm reported already.

• Game 5 of the World Series in Philadelphia was also a victim of the storm - suspended last night in the 6th inning with the Phillies and Rays tied at 2-2. The rain and wind was just too much to continue playing. They will try to resume it tonight. It was the first time such action had to be taken in the history of the World Series.
