Winter Storm Warning

The calm before the storm. The view from my new home on the St. Lawrence River looking at the sun setting over the western suburbs of Montreal today.

Whew what a couple of days it has been, as I have just finished moving. It has left me at times tired and far from my computer and the weather. I am now settled in my new home and off we go. It is just in time for a classic nor'easter. Lots of cold air is in place across the St. Lawrence Valley, Ontario and Quebec, New York and Vermont. Low pressure is developing across the Gulf states and will move towards New England on Wednesday. Expect snow to overspread the area from southwest to northeast very early Wednesday. It should reach Kemptville be daybreak and Montreal by mid morning. The snow will become heavy and be accompanied by strong northeast winds in Montreal of 30-50km/h. The snow and blowing snow will cause very poor travel conditions along all area highways. The weather will only improve Thursday. Present accumulation estimates are for 15cm in Kemptville and 15-25cm in Montreal. Warnings have been posted for southwestern Quebec but not at this time for Ontario. Regardless of the warning criteria, wherever you are in our area you can expect a storm tomorrow.
