It was another very cold night across southern Quebec and portions of eastern Ontario. Montreal dipped to -15C, Ottawa -13C and Sherbrooke -24C. Skies are cloudy this morning and there are some snow showers around eastern Ontario that may drift into southern Quebec. The big warming trend is still on track, but will be a few hours late. With the clouds and extensive snow cover, the temperature will only rise to around -1C today, still a big improvement over yesterday.
Tonight and Thursday warm air will begin streaming north from the southern US. Look for temperatures to rise through the day on Thursday and into Friday. Showers are possible over that period with perhaps some steady rain late Thursday. A pocket of freezing rain is not out of the question in the normally colder valley's and north of Montreal late Thursday. Friday will be cloudy but very warm with gusty south winds and highs up to an incredible plus 10C (50F). It is time to clear out the rain gutters, mine are under about three feet of snow!
A cold front will mover across the region early Saturday and return us back to reality with highs no better than -4C. Look for a chance of measurable snow early next week, just to keep us all grounded. Winter still has about a month or so to go.
