Well....we took it on the chin here yesterday and it was very reminiscent of the Easter 2007 storm.It began to snow in the early morning and was snowing quite heavily by noon.The snow was very wet with the temp holding at the freezing point.Total accumulation was 15cms here.The steady snowfall ended in the early evening and there were a few flurries thoughout the night.
We are expecting temperatures to be above freezing today so some of this mess should hopefully melt away.More warm weather is on the way for next week with double digit plus temps possible by mid-week.
