Another Dusting

This morning's weather photo

It wasn't too bad here yesterday with temps a few degrees above freezing,dropping off in the evening to a few degrees below,no precip.
Overnight the forecast disturbance moved into our area and we are currently experiencing some light snow. 10 cms is forecast for this area with some wind to blow it around.Temps are expected to reach the freezing point so we may possibly see a change over to rain.So far,it is releatively calm and the long range radar is showing us to be on the warm side of the snow/rain line in the aproaching system.

Seasonable

This morning's weather photo

Yesterday was a cool day here...no doubt the remnants of the arctic air mass that caused all of the havoc in Ontario over the weekend.Someday they will learn how to deal with a little snow and not bring everything to a grinding halt.
We had a few brief flurries yesterday,more so in the evening,leaving a light dusting on the ground.Temps were near 0 for the day and dropped into the minuses in the evening.It was quite chilly overnight with my thermometer reaching -10°.Today is expected to be more seasonable at around +3°.
There's a possibility of snow later in the week....no amounts available as of yet.
