Storm exits region

A very fast moving low pressure area rocketed down the St. Lawrence Valley today and is already off the Atlantic coast. The storm brought a quick 5-15cm of snow across the region with several hours of freezing rain especially in eastern Ontario. Ottawa/Gatineau had the most snow between 8-15cm. Most of southern Ontario had between 10-30mm of rain or freezing rain. Winds are gusty this evening with a few flurries, but skies are clearing out and temperatures are dropping. Lows should reach -11C. Tuesday will be sunny and -4C.
