Lake effect snow across the river

Kemptville this morning. My tree was the first to turn color and will be the last to stubbornly let go of its leaves.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends. Travel for the most part in our region is good today. We had a couple of inches of wet sticky snow overnight in Kemptville but most of that has melted off the roads. You will need lots of washer fluid but that should be it for the snow in our area. It is not the case just south of the St. Lawrence River in Jefferson and southern St. Lawrence County in NY. Heavy lake snows are moving off the eastern end of Lake Ontario. Spotters have reported from 10-15 inches of snow in those areas. Visibility is low and travel very difficult along roads west of county road 58 along US 37 into Watertown. The snow will continue into the evening hours before tapering off.

The next weather system will be a weak front that brings scattered rain and snow showers to all of southern Ontario and western Quebec on Friday. Saturday will be fair before a major storm takes shape over Ohio and affects our region late Sunday and Monday. More on that later.
