Snowstorm stays south

A winter storm affecting the upper Midwest (photo on left) and Great Lakes today will remain south of our region. Forecasters expect the brunt of the snow to move across southwest Ontario and western New York and then into Pennsylvania and off the east coast. Portions of southwest Ontario west of Toronto towards Windsor are reporting steady snow and blowing snow today. Upwards of 5cm is expected in Toronto with 10-20cm towards London. Roads are snow covered and visibility is low in gusty winds.

Such is not the case here in Montreal and across eastern Ontario where high pressure will dominate and keep the storm well south of the area. Sunny skies and cool temperatures are forecast today and tomorrow with a few flurries possible late Thursday. It is cold this morning at -9C but will warm to near 0C today, well below normal. Skies will clear out for the weekend.
