SNOW below normal temperatures

It will be a wintry weekend in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. A cold front has ushered in some mid-January temperatures. We are currently -9C in Kemptville, and I don't expect it will get much warmer than -4C today with a chilly breeze at times. Closer to the Great Lakes some snow will occur with up to 10cm forecast for parts of western New York and midwest Ontario.

A clipper system will move into the region on Saturday with light snow beginning late in the day and moving east overnight and into Sunday. Most regions will see from 5-10cm of snow. That will be followed by another shot of cold air for Monday and yest another system with snow for Tuesday. The balance of next week looks unsettled as well. The one thing that is certain is it will be chilly, so most of the precipitation will be snow. Winter is here so make sure your car is ready and slow down.
