Cornwall Ontario – A lovely gentle snow is falling on the River City with as much as 20cm expected by the time it ends Sunday.
With Mother Nature seeming to be bi-polar as of late changes of temperature could see us have freezing rain tonight which will make driving and walking treacherous!
Our high will actually be overnight with the temps flirting with zero.
Sunday will be warmer with a bag of mixed precipitation before things freeze up on Monday.
