Yesterday I was talking about the possibility of a few cm's of snow for today. I was hoping that we would see a few flurries through the overnight and this morning...and it never happened. Why no snow? Well the question isn't why but where. Where is the snow? There was snow across the region today, just no more than a trace amount in Peterborough. Looking at the King City Radar this morning, bands of snow greeted folks in Haliburton, Bancroft and many communities to the north. Most of the snow occured south of the city though. Oshawa dealt with a few flurries, Toronto dealt with messy roads and further south (into southwestern Ontario) between 20-25cm fell.
Where the worst weather took place (and continues to take place) is in the northeastern U.S. along the Atlantic Coast. This powerful low continues to bring punishing winds and heavy snowfall to major cities like Washington, New York and Philadelphia. Highway pile-ups are occuring, flights are cancelled and some of the world's busiest airports are literally shut down. So did we catch a break? Certainly, but a few cm's would have been nice. The next best chance for flurries will be on Sunday. I'll have all of the details tonight on CHEX Newswatch.
