NOON UPDATE: The storm is well underway in southern Ontario with bursts of heavy snow along the 401 and very strong winds. Winds have gusted to 86km/h at Long Point on Lake Erie and 74km/h at Burlington. The snow is now as far east as Kingston and will begin this afternoon in Kemptville. Look for steady snow, gusty winds and biting cold this afternoon into this evening.
• From earlier today: Well it is getting very close to Christmas, and this is a big shopping and travel weekend. Lets get right into the weather. Strong low pressure over Illinois today will race to New York City and into the Atlantic. This storm will push a wide swath of snow and brisk winds into the region today. The worst travel will be from Kingston west to Windsor and south into New York State and New England. Warnings are in place for those areas with 15-25cm expected. Kemptville, Ottawa and Montreal will remain on the northern edge of the winter storm. The weather will be cold with gusty northeast winds and anywhere from 5-10cm of snow, the least north and more south.
Saturday will be an ideal travel day, sunny, cold and dry.
Sunday will be very poor again with another major storm producing heavy snow in all regions with strong winds. Look for 10-20cm for that storm.
Monday looks decent again before yet another storm takes shape for late Tuesday into Christmas Eve.
I will update the blog often this weekend, also the links on the left are current and provide lots of additional information.
Happy Holidays and be safe....
