Snow? Really?

Snow? Are we really that surprised? Well...it is that time of year. We are in November. Still, a collective gasp can be heard across the country the second that word is uttered. Now before we get all worked up over a few flakes I will say that there is just a small chance that we'll see any tonight in Peterborough...but there is a chance. It all comes down to temperature. (For you budding meteorologists out there, it often comes down to the location of the "0 Degree Wet Bulb Isotherm," Google it if you have the time). But temperature is ultimately the deciding factor on what form of precipitation falls and I think it will stay warm enough here in Peterborough to hold off the snow tonight. Expect a few showers this evening and maybe a rain/wet snow mix. The low will be plus 1 so wet snow is still possible. Here in the city we're on the transition line tonight and areas north of that line have a pretty good chance of seeing a few flurries. Bancroft and north to Haliburton have a could see some snow tonight as the temperature wil be a few degrees cooler. So don't be surprised if you see a few flakes north of Peterborough. Oh...and please don't blame the Weather Guy. Winter is fun...embrace it!
