Update 10pm: Just a quick update before bed, moderate snow continues to fall in the region with winds gusting to 50km/h. There are reports of scattered power outages from Kemptville to Brockville. KFD has been called out to several incidents tonight including power lines across the road at Limerick and County Road 20 and a small electrical fire at the Petro Canada in Kemptville. Wires continue to arc in the region with blue flashes lighting up the sky at times. Already 7cm has fallen in Kemptville. Next update will be early Wednesday morning...have a safe night and stay indoors off the roads.
One hours worth of snow in Kemptville....Photo taken at 6:45pm.
At 7pm in Kemptville it is snowing moderately with low visibility and several centimetres already on the ground. It is 0C and the winds are howling out of the north at around 50km/h. Travel is not recommended, roads are snow covered in the 416 corridor and points south and east. I have just watched the first snowplow of the season go by so they are out working hard to keep the roads open. Visibility will be the big factor for the next several hours as heavy snow is moving into the region and winds are increasing.
