Valley Weather

As Canadians we talk about the weather relentlessly, I just talk about it a little more! I hope to provide useful information to my family, friends and all those who simply enjoy talking about the weather. While I try to include information of interest from all over North America, my primary region of concern is the St. Lawrence Valley of Quebec, Ontario, and New York, as well as our neighbouring regions. This Blog is dedicated to my late father for inspiring my interest in weather.

Snow and warmer temperatures

Lake effect snow continues to fall this morning east of Lake Ontario in Watertown, NY. This band is producing 5cm per hour and will dissipate slowly as it moves northward towards the 401 and Mallorytown. Anyone travelling in that area today or on Interstate 81 should expect very changeable weather. Otherwise today will be dry and cold but not nearly as cold as the last few days. It is already -15C in Kemptville which is miles ahead of any other day since Wednesday, Montreal and Ottawa are colder at -22. An Alberta clipper will move east today and spread a general 5-10cm of fluffy snow across our area and into western Quebec. The snow should start late tonight and last into Sunday.
