Another Arctic dip

Cold air banked over Nunavut has pushed into eastern Ontario and Montreal today with temperatures as cold as -25C across the region and gusty west winds. A weak area of low pressure will slide down the St. Lawrence Valley today with just a trace of light snow maybe 1cm in most areas. The snow will bring milder air along for the ride and that will produce a fairly mild day Thursday before a cold front slices across the area on Friday. That cold front will usher in another weekend of well below normal temperatures with lows in the -20's and highs no better than -15C. The next potential for significant snow will not come until early next week.

First in Flight, last in snow removal...
