A Nasty Commute

If you think my Microsoft Paint skills are nasty...wait until you see the weather tomorrow morning. That (crudely drawn) system you see in the pic above pushing in from the south west and is packing high winds and a lot of precipitation. Luckily for us, most of it should fall as rain. So here is what you can expect for tomorrow. The snow will start up late this evening with windy conditions through the overnight. Expect a snowy (heavy snow at times) start to the day tomorrow with high winds and blowing snow. After some mixing late into the morning the snow should change to rain by 10am. Showers continue throughout the day with blustery conditions until around 7pm as the rain changes back to snow. We'll be to the west of the low tomorrow night so expect a cool down and snow to continue into the overnight. As for snowfall totals (and they're very tough to call with the rain involved) expect over 10cm here in Peterborough and you could see in excess of 15cm to the north. Keep in mind that the more rain we see the better. This is why we are currently under a Winter Storm Warning for the entire region. My advice...take it easy on the drive in and give yourself plenty of time to get to work tomorrow. Oh...and if this system tracks further south than expected we may see a lot more snow than rain. Luckily for us that doesn't look to be the case.
