Lake Snow Machine ON

Greetings everyone, I apologize about the lack of posts this weekend I was away. Busy today as well so this will be brief. We have cooled down considerably behind yesterdays cold front. We are currently siting at 4C in Kemptville, a far cry from last weeks 20 degree temperatures. The lake effect snow machine is also on today spreading steady bands of snow across the area south and east Lake Huron in Ontario and on the US side of the border south of Buffalo and in Jefferson and St. Lawrence County. Advisories are in place. If you are travelling south along Interstate 81 expect some snow covered roads and poor visibility south of Watertown. Kemptville and eastern Ontario can expect just a few flurries or showers most of the week with cool temperatures, typical November weather.

I did not write much on Hurricane Paloma that blossomed into a Category 4 storm before moving inland near Santa Cruz del Sur, Cuba. Paloma packed 145mph and destroyed over 435 homes, but because of Cuba's excellent evacuation procedures, no deaths were reported. Paloma has since been sheered apart and went from a Cat 4 to a depression in less than 24 hours. The photo below from the National Hurricane Centre is a very impressive Paloma at his strongest south of Cuba on Saturday.
