Snowfall of 5 to 15 cm today.
Snow is expected to begin this morning across much of Central and Eastern Ontario. General snowfall amounts of around 5 to 10 cm are likely, however areas close to Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River may see as much as 10 to 15 cm. The snow will taper off late in the afternoon or early evening.
This snowfall will likely have a significant impact on the afternoon commute. Motorists are urged to exercise caution.
The region is on the northwestern edge of a storm system that will mainly impact the American side of the border. At this point, it appears that amounts will remain below the warning criteria of 15 cm or more within 12 hours.
I’d love to be a weather forecaster. You can be wrong 50% of the time and you still get to keep your job. Must be nice!!
You can be wrong 300% as long as you’re occasionally entertaining 😉
The never ending winter continues. Arrggghhhh!!!!!
