Thursday Dec 11 - It Could Be An Interesting Day

Yesterday was a very warm day here but extremely windy from the SE with gusts in this area near hurricane force.The winds abated overnight and have switched to a v. light breeze from the NE.We also received a fair amount of rain which began falling in the late afternoon.
It could,however,be an interesting day here.There is a freezing rain warning in effect for most of the province including us.The temps are dropping about a degree an hour and we are getting close to the freezing point.The roads are wet from the heavy rain we received last night and travelling conditions may be poor later today.
Temps are expected to begin rising tonight and tomorrow is forecast to be another very warm day for this time of the year.Unfortunately,we're back to colder weather on the weekend.
