Dry week ahead

Detroit (above) and the Upper Midwest were hit hard by the recent storm with over 10 inches in the Motor City and across the river in Windsor. (Detroit Free Press)

Arctic high pressure continues to dominate our weather with a very cold morning across Ontario, Quebec and northern New England. Montreal and Kemptville are both -18C this morning on the way to a daytime highs of -5C. Sunshine will prevail right into Thursday with moderating temperatures. The next threat for precipitation will com late Thursday overnight into Friday as low pressure approaches from Ohio. Snow or rain is forecast for Friday. This will be a perfect time to wash the car and get some of that stubborn salt off it.

I have been writing this blog since 2005 and still amazes me that with all the weather that occurred over that time, the biggest draw remains anything I write about the Montreal Blizzard of 1971. I have many hits and comments on these entries. We are coming up on the 40th anniversary of that storm in early March, so I am searching for some new photos and info on the storm.
