Well this is the kind of winter it has been with the GEM and Canadian and European Models. I wish they were in swimsuits but sadly these are computer weather forecast models. They have been having a really difficult time predicting winter storms and only came into agreement with this storm 18 hours before the start time of the event. (I think the swimsuit models would have done a better job). This was my point with this past weeks big storm, every once in awhile you have to look out the window, observe which way the wind is blowing, look at the clouds and barometer and make your own decision.
Well this brings me to Saturday morning, and that winter storm that affected Dallas and much of the Gulf Coast yesterday. It is now expected to take a more northwest path which will bring the snow into northern New York, Vermont as well as southern Quebec and eastern Ontario. Low pressure currently over Kentucky is forecast to move across southeast New York state overnight. The forecast is now calling for am quick 5-10cm of snow for Montreal and the 401 corridor to Kingston beginning late this afternoon and ending by daybreak Sunday. Further south and east more snow will fall with Heavy Snow Warnings for the Townships for up to 15cm. South of the border Winter Storm Warnings are now in effect for most of Vermont from Burlington south as well as New York Sate south of Plattsburgh. Look for 6-10" in the warning area. North of there to the Canadian border including Plattsburgh, winter weather advisories are in effect for 2-5" of snow.
Warnings are also in place across winter weary Atlantic Canada where another 15-30cm could fall on Sunday. Two more weather systems are expected to bring Montreal and the region snow next week. More on that later, lets shovel this one out of the way first. Now off to remove the 2 feet of snow from my back deck. Pictures later!
I will update this weather event later this morning. Adjust your travel plans accordingly, especially into New England.
