LuvMyViper Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 We're finally getting some fresh snow!!! I was kinda surprised when I check EC's website and seen the weather warnings.... Looks like a big part of southern Ontario is gonna get snow.. I hope everyone gets their fair share.. They are calling for 15-25cm for the Kitchener area.. weeeeee Warnings Guelph - Erin - Southern Wellington County 6:00 AM EST Wednesday 28 January 2009 Snowfall warning for Guelph - Erin - Southern Wellington County continued Winter storm bringing 15 to 25 cm of snow. A deepening low pressure system from Texas has reached northeastern Kentucky early this morning. This low is intensifying into a winter storm as it moves northeast across central Pennsylvania into New York state just east of Lake Ontario by this evening. Light snow in advance of this storm has moved into southern Ontario overnight. Radar over the states just south of the border shows an expanding area of heavy snow which will move into southern Ontario this morning then into eastern Ontario by this afternoon. It now appears that heavier snow from this storm will affect a large part of southern Ontario southeast of a line from Lake St Clair to lake Simcoe to the Petawawa area. Snowfall amounts near 15 cm are expected by this evening over areas from Kitchener southwest across London to Windsor. 15 to 20 cm of snow are expected in the Golden Horseshoe into Niagara then northeast across Peterborough to Renfrew. 20 to 25 cm possibly up to 30 cm of snow are expected in eastern Ontario including the national Capital region into the St Lawrence Valley. A clap or two of thunder along with a burst of heavy snow is also quite possible especially near the lower Great Lakes into the St Lawrence Valley. Snowfall rates may occasionally reach 2 to 3 centimetres per hour. The snow will end over southwestern Ontario by this evening but continue over eastern sections well into tonight before the intensifying winter storm races across southern Québec and New England into the Maritimes. Driving conditions will quickly deteriorate and become hazardous as the heavier snow moves in and starts to accumulate. Visibility will at times be reduced to a couple hundred metres or less in areas of heavy snow..Making travel very difficult. Motorists should alter travel plans accordingly.

LuvMyViper Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Special Weather Statements for Ontario * Public Warnings * Marine Warnings * Special Weather Statements WOCN11 CWTO 281108 Special weather statement Issued by Environment Canada Ontario region. 6:08 AM EST Wednesday 28 January 2009. 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 Stirling - Tweed - South Frontenac Bancroft - Bon Echo Park Brockville - Leeds and Grenville City of Ottawa Gatineau Prescott and Russell Cornwall - Morrisburg Smiths Falls - Lanark - Sharbot Lake Parry Sound - Muskoka Haliburton Renfrew - Pembroke - Barry's Bay Algonquin Burk's Falls - Bayfield Inlet. ..Snowstorm affecting southern Ontario today and tonight.. A deepening low pressure originally from Texas has reached northeastern Kentucky early this morning and will continue to intensify into a winter storm as it moves northeast across central Pennsylvania into New York state just east of Lake Ontario by this evening. This storm track places much of southern and eastern Ontario under bands of heavy snow giving up to 25 cm. Snowfall warnings are in effect for areas southeast of a line from Lake St Clair to lake Simcoe to Petawawa as a result. Further northwest lesser snowfall amounts are expected. However many areas extending from Goderich through Mount Forest and Owen Sound across Barrie and Muskoka to Algonquin Park will receive 10 to 15 cm of the white stuff before the snow tapers off to a few Flurries tonight in the wake of the storm. Motorists should exercise extreme caution as driving conditions will rapidly deteriorate and become hazardous shortly after the snow begins. Very low visibility in areas of heavier snow will be a significant issue to deal with. This snowstorm will make the morning and evening commutes particularly slow and difficult. Environment Canada is continuing to monitor this situation and further messages or warnings will be issued as necessary. 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 today.
