A swath of snow will extend well ahead of the storm overnight across Lake Huron to cottage country and east to Ottawa with rain falling south of this line across regions near the lower lakes. The rain will become mixed with ice pellets and then turn to snow by early Thursday morning across the Golden Horseshoe area to Kingston as temperatures Gradually drop below the freezing mark..With the possibility that near 2 centimetres of snow will fall by Thursday morning except for regions located in the Dundalk Highlands where 5 centimetres are likely. Regions located close to Lake Erie will see primarily rain overnight before changing over to snow later Thursday morning. Freezing rain is a possible during this change from rain to snow. Hence it may be a slippery commute for many on Thursday morning Through southwestern Ontario..The Golden Horseshoe..And areas along Lake Ontario. The storm is set to slide south of the lower Great Lakes on Thursday during the day before making its way to the eastern seaboard by Thursday night. Widespread snow is expected to fall across southern Ontario on Thursday with the snow gradually tapering off to flurries from west to east during the day. At this time..Total snowfall accumulations of near 5 centimetres are possible over southwestern Ontario with 10 to 15 centimetres of snow possible from the Dundalk Highlands to near Ottawa. It should be emphasized that the majority of the snow will be moisture-laden and may melt quickly when it first falls. The amount of accumulating Snow will depend on how warm the ground temperatures will be.. Especially on paved surfaces. In general higher accumulations of snow will occur over grassy surfaces and higher terrain. Environment Canada will continue to monitor the development of the winter storm. As more information becomes available the statement will be revised. Listen for further statements. Additional information may also be found by consulting the latest public forecast. The next public forecast will be issued by 5 AM. ================================================================ UPDATE TO SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT..... 11:57 AM EST Wednesday 21 November 2007 ..10 to 20 centimetres of snow likely by Thursday night.. An approaching winter storm from Missouri will bring the first winter storm of the season tonight and Thursday. Many regions extending from Lake Huron east to the Dundalk Highlands is currently seeing rain but as the temperature falls to near freezing the rain will quickly change over to wet snow and ice pellets this afternoon and then snow tonight. Near 10 centimetres of snow is expected to fall tonight with an additional 10 centimetres to follow on Thursday. Higher snow amounts are expected to fall over higher terrain. Regions across eastern Ontario including Ottawa have already received snow from a previous disturbance and will continue to see snow fall tonight and into Thursday. Total snowfall amounts near 15 centimetres by Thursday night are possible as the winter storm slowly moves east across the lower lakes tonight into New England by Thursday night. The greater Toronto area will be very close to the southern edge of the heavy snow but is still expected to receive significant amounts of snow mixed with ice pellets. Depending on how much ice pellets form at the expense of the snow current snowfall estimates over the greater Toronto area is 5 to 10 centimetres tonight with an additional 5 to 10 centimetres Thursday. Regions close to the lake may see lesser amounts due to warmer temperatures along the lakeshore. For further detail over the rest of southern Ontario please read the special weather statement released by Environment Canada.

I'll be ok, I'm driving my Chev Tracker with 4x4 and what's called a trail tire (great in the snow) {thanks Walmart !! } My wife on the other hand, this will be the first time this year that she will be driveing the big old pickup truck with no 4x4. I hate driving it in the winter, after I got the Tracker. When I do I'm 'white knuckle' all the way. In the past when it was my daily vehicle I was used to it. Bring on the Traffic Mayhem !!

Fisherman Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) It's amazing when the weather people start cranking out "the sky is falling" jeez every 30 seconds you hear it on the radio/tv, it's winter, lets get on with it. What did the world do 20 years ago, set the alarm clock 1/ 2 hour early, get up, and drive a bit slower. All the aching in the world isn't gonna make it go away. And NO, don't call Mel, he'd probably try and sell cheap snowshovels on the side. Edited November 21, 2007 by Fisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
