A few flurries

A few flurries are spreading across southern Quebec this morning is response to an upper low over the central part of the province. The flurries will not amount to much with maybe a dusting to 2cm by Friday morning. It will be breezy and quite cold for late March with temperatures struggling to reach the 0C mark.

Meanwhile yesterdays southern Ontario snowstorm has moved off the middle Atlantic coast well south of Montreal as expected. The storm produced a narrow but significant band of snow across southwest Ontario and the GTA yesterday. The heavy snow caused travel delays, hundreds of accidents and school closures. The snow accumulated 11cm in Toronto but up to 26cm in Waterloo and between 15-20cm elsewhere from London to Hamilton. Across the Windsor and Sarnia region freezing rain was reported as well. The storm also affected western New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The storm also blasted the upper Midwest with 17.3 inches in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The balance of the weekend will be sunny and chilly. It will not warm up before the middle of next week. The good news at this time is that no major storms are on the horizon.
