The strong storm system that brought snow to the deep south last night has moved to Mississippi this afternoon. North of the storm a wide swath of snow and rain has moved as far as New York and Vermont. The storm is forecast to move through New England into Friday. Forecasters have now extended the warnings for heavy snow north and west towards the St. Lawrence River. Look for a period of steady snow even in Kemptville overnight. I feel just a few centimetres will fall here but as much as 10-15cm could fall from Cornwall to Montreal with 15-25cm along the south shore of Montreal towards Burlington, Vermont and Plattsburgh, NY. Travel will be very poor into Quebec and south into the US overnight and into Friday morning. Gusty northeast winds will produce blowing snow all along the 401 and Quebec highway 20 east into Montreal.
The Maritimes will also be hit with this storm with a prolonged period of freezing rain in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
