Storm number three in the parade of winter storms is about to move into our regions. Yesterdays system was potent with between 10-30cm falling from Windsor to Ottawa. About 10cm fell in Kemptville, and it was blown around by strong winds. Last evening driving was very challenging across the entire area. Several highways including the 401 had to be closed because of major accidents. Conditions are better today, the wind has eased and the snow is over with the exception of a few flurries. Roads remain snow covered and slippery, caution is advised.
The next system has prompted Winter Storm Warnings for most regions from northern New York across northern Vermont and into southern Quebec including Montreal. That region is expecting between 15-25cm of snow with strong winds, beginning mid day Sunday and ending Monday morning. Our area is still under a Watch. I imagine that will upgraded at some time today once the snow totals can be nailed down a bit better. In any event Sunday will be snowy and windy with very poor travel.
Many airports in the east including Pearson are rushing to accommodate the back log of flights from yesterdays storm. Call ahead if you are flying out today. Drive safely. My next update will be before 6pm today.
