Decent storm wrapping up now. We had 10cm of snow today in Constance bay, 14cm in the past 2 days. The snowpack is back up to 25cm just in time for Christmas!

Ottawa River froze across last night. Super early to see this! Winds dropped and we bottomed out at -22c for several hours.

Update! Last minute shift south on the latest HRRR model brings about 6 hours of freezing rain to the #Ottawa Valley and as far south as #Westport If it's correct, we could be looking at a large swath of 10-25mmbice acreation The NAM 3k and HRDPS are not as south/ aggressive
No major changes to the evening model data Still expecting most of the Freezing Rain to remain over #Quebec Patchy freezing rain/ drizzle for several hours Saturday PM into Sunday AM across the #Ottawa Valley Trace to 5mm of ice accretion possible If the system tracks a tad

Quite the “windshield wiper effect” with the track of the upcoming storm. Models seem to have trended back NW overnight. Expect heavy snow targets Ottawa/ E On starting out light around noon turning heavy by the the evening. Expect 10-25cm by Monday morning across the region!

Some models think some accumulating snow is possible tomorrow aft/evening especially in algonquin park. Maybe first flakes in western areas of Ottawa too. We’ll see! Winter is coming

Melissa now has a much larger eye, like a monster truck tire, on approach to Cuba. A broader core replaced the compact one that the storm had over Jamaica.

This footage from inside the eye of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa might be the most jaw-dropping video ever captured of a hurricane’s eye, showcasing the infamous “stadium effect."

Looks like we will not make up for the lack of rainfall this weekend Drought conditions are set to continue for the foreseeable future with no major rainfall expected over the next 7 days Have mentioned a couple times in the summer, we'll have to wait for a big snowpack this
A follow up to this post from July 28th... Drought conditions persist across most of Southern #Ontario Many areas are still 100-200mm behind their normal rainfall Hopefully we make up for some of that deficit this weekend! #OnWX #ONStorm #OntAg

Here is a closer look at years that had a +TNH throughout Winter since 2000: More details on Winter as a whole in yesterday's video, watch here: https://t.co/Da7mOC50Ql
The global SST pattern right now looks strikingly like the +TNH correlation (Hudson Bay Vortex) for Winter. There's strong support for a +TNH this winter from other drivers as well when factoring in the Weak Niña state including the -QBO/-IOD. Since 2000, years with a +TNH
