There is lots of weather going on across New York, New England and Quebec tonight. That arctic front that brought about 10cm of wet snow today has settled south of the region this evening. Low pressure has developed near Virginia Beach and is moving north towards New York City. Abundant moisture is starting to lift back north once again and has reached the south shore of Montreal. Snow will develop again tonight and accumulate 10cm in the city and 10-30cm south and east of Montreal. Winds will increase as well out of the north and northeast and gust to 60km/h across the southern portion of Quebec including the St. Lawrence Valley. South of us rain, snow, sleet and freezing rain is creating poor travel along I-87, I-81 and I-89 with numerous schools closed already for Monday. Some power outages are reported as well.

Another big problem is flooding. Northern New York and Vermont have seen lots of rain and melting snow in the last few days. Many rivers including the Ausable River in Clinton and Essex Counties are on the rise. Flooding has been reported with evacuations underway in Jay and Ausable Forks, NY. Roads are closed as ice jams push waterways above flood stage.
