Winter Storm Warning

Harnessing the wind in advance of this latest storm some creative enthusiasts enjoy Sunday afternoon near the Beauharnois locks in southern Quebec.

Low pressure over Indiana with a secondary storm taking shape along the Atlantic coast is combining to produce heavy precipitation tonight in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. The snow has begun in Kemptville as of 7pm, and we are at 0C and under a Winter Storm Warning. Most of southern Ontario is expecting similar conditions tonight with a period of steady snow, followed by mixed precipitation. Snowfall totals will range from 5cm in the GTA to 25cm in the upper Ottawa Valley and along the shores of Lake Huron. In southern Quebec snow and sleet will change to an extended period of Freezing Rain by early Monday. South of the border, heavy mixed precipitation is occurring over northern New York and Vermont with rain further south. Winds are also expected to increase from the Northeast up to 50km/h tonight especially along the 401 corridor. Some blowing snow is possible. Travel will be very difficult for the Monday commute.
