What would you like first? The good news or the bad news? Let's start with the bad so that we can finish on a good note. Saturday is going to be a mess. A lot of folks will be hitting the streets to get those amazing boxing day sales or to visit family and we have a very warm and messy storm on the way. To the left is a shot of Saturday from the latest GFS run (I've plugged in the Low using MS Paint...as always) and it doesn't look good. That low looks to track just to the west of us, putting us in a nasty transition zone where the "precip" that is falling will be "undecided." What I mean by that is we'll see a bit of snow, changing to rain and then back to snow. Oh...and I should also warn you about the possibility of freezing rain. Anytime you have warm air over cold air you have the chance for icy roads. Wind will also be an issue. It's still too early to be 100% sure about this storm so I promise more details tomorrow. The good news? It looks like we'll have a white Christmas. Expect a few flurries to start Christmas day and we have plenty of snow already on the ground.Wednesday, December 23, 2009
What A Mess!

RE: reporting for 3 TV stations... We were elated (!) to see you reporting for KINGSTON on Dec. 23/09. You were 'our man' before we moved away from Port Hope. Witnessing your passion for what you do always made us smile. You're destined to go places with your exemplary attitude. Be safe.
