Some snow - some sun

Crews work to clear away the 15cm of wet snow in Lasalle early yesterday morning.

The weekend forecast has a little something for everyone. It will be partly sunny on Saturday with a few flurries. A clipper system will race across the area late Saturday and Sunday with a potential 5-10cm of snow and gusty winds. Temperatures will be a little chilly around -5C, but decent for February.

Yesterdays storm behaved as expected. The wet snow accumulated around 10-15cm in most areas in eastern Ontario and southern Quebec with some rain mixing in as well. It was an overall yucky day, very cool and damp. Roads were snow covered and slippery in the morning, but rapidly improved with the mild air by midday. Behind the system winds have been gusty over 40km/h and some lake effect snow has been occurring south and east of Georgian Bay and on the US side of the border along Interstate 81 between Watertown and Syracuse. The squalls have been quite intense in places with heavy snow and low visibility.
