ccmtcanada Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I know lots of places have snow already....but that was from lake effect. The first winter system is coming through the area this afternoon/evening and overnight. Five to 10 cm of the white stuff on the roads by morning rush hour...wont be pretty! The first snowfall always paralyzes Toronto....going to need extra coffee for sure!!! The snow tires are being put on the car as we speak....got it in there just in time it seems. Drive safe everyone...take your time getting to work. ===================================================================== Check for updates here..... http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/warnings/sws_e.html Special weather statement issued for.. City of Toronto Windsor - Essex - Chatham-Kent Sarnia - Lambton Elgin London - Middlesex Simcoe - Delhi - Norfolk Dunnville - Caledonia - Haldimand Oxford - Brant Niagara City of Hamilton Halton - Peel York - Durham Huron - Perth Waterloo - Wellington Dufferin - Innisfil Grey - Bruce Barrie - Orillia - Midland Belleville - Quinte - Northumberland Kingston - Prince Edward Peterborough - Kawartha Lakes Parry Sound - Muskoka. ..The first general snowfall of the season for southern Ontario.. An Alberta clipper over western Lake Superior this morning will make a beeline towards the lower Great Lakes tonight. Snow is expected to spread into southern Ontario during the day. It will reach the Golden Horseshoe area by this evening. Periods of snow should continue tonight before tapering to flurries early Thursday. Snowfall accumulations of around 5 to 10 centimetres are likely for many regions. The snowfall will tend to be rather wet in the shoreline localities along lakes Erie and Ontario including Toronto. This may limit accumulations somewhat in these communities. Snowfall amounts over eastern sections such as Peterborough Trenton and Kingston may be somewhat less as these areas will be near the edge of the weather system. In the longer term..A significant snow squall event is shaping up For Thursday and especially Thursday night and Friday for areas to the Lee of the Great Lakes. A snow squall warning will likely be issued this afternoon for the affected areas. Motorists should use extra caution later today and tonight due to reduced visibilities and potentially accumulating snowfall making roads somewhat hazardous. The Thursday morning commute may be longer due to slippery conditions and some snow accumulation. Listen for further statements. Additional information may also be found by consulting the latest public forecast. The next public forecast will be issued by 11 AM.

johnnyb Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Sweeeet!!! Snow tires have been on for 2 weeks now...already got to try them out in the white stuff up in Muskoka...I just don't want too much snow wrecking the perfect ice-forming conditions we've got going on! I know of a certain shallow weedy bay that freezes up quick....and this year I'm determined to pull a couple walleye out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
