Strong winds and snow squalls in the Seaway near Cornwall on Sunday
Cold arctic air continues to pour into Ontario behind this weekends rain. Nearly 25mm of rain fell in Kemptville over the weekend with very strong winds over 50km/h. I drove home yesterday along the 401 and it was like a giant hand kept pushing my car off to the side. Winds along the Seaway were even stronger gusting over 60km/h.
The winds have ushered in the coldest air so far this season. Temperatures will likely not rise above 0C all week. The wind and cold has also turned on the Great Lakes snow machine. Nearly 20 inches of snow has piled up in parts of northeast Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. In Ontario over 25cm has fallen from north of Sarnia towards Grey/Bruce, Barrie and London. Travel in these areas is difficult as it is south of us along Interstate 81 between Watertown and Syracuse. The heavy lake snow will continue today with another 25cm possible from Barrie to London.
This morning some light snow showers have made there way into Kemptville and the 416 corridor, putting a light coating on area roads. Travel with care today. The snow should end shortly but scattered flurries will continue closer to the Seaway and Lake Ontario.

That's what will happen when you are driving a Saturn. The only thing that would be pushed more is a Prius. Maybe it was a greater power saying "dude, a Saturn...Really?"
