Though not as severe in terms of accumulation, it might make the morning commute on Monday complete hell: quote: WOCN11 CWTO 092013 Special weather statement issued by Environment Canada at 3:13 PM EST Saturday 9 February 2013. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Special weather statement for: =new= City of Toronto =new= Windsor - Essex - Chatham-Kent =new= Sarnia - Lambton =new= Elgin =new= London - Middlesex =new= Simcoe - Delhi - Norfolk =new= Dunnville - Caledonia - Haldimand =new= Oxford - Brant =new= Niagara =new= City of Hamilton =new= Halton - Peel =new= York - Durham =new= Huron - Perth =new= Waterloo - Wellington =new= Dufferin - Innisfil =new= Grey - Bruce =new= Barrie - Orillia - Midland =new= Belleville - Quinte - Northumberland =new= Kingston - Prince Edward =new= Peterborough - Kawartha Lakes =new= Stirling - Tweed - South Frontenac =new= Bancroft - Bon Echo Park =new= Brockville - Leeds and Grenville =new= City of Ottawa =new= Gatineau =new= Prescott and Russell =new= Cornwall - Morrisburg =new= Smiths Falls - Lanark - Sharbot Lake =new= Parry Sound - Muskoka =new= Haliburton =new= Renfrew - Pembroke - Barry's Bay =new= Algonquin =new= Burk's Falls - Bayfield Inlet. A Colorado low will bring a mixed bag of precipitation to Southern Ontario Sunday night. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ==discussion== A low pressure system developing over Colorado will intensify and move northeastward into Wisconsin by Sunday evening then continue across the Nickel Belt through Monday. A warm front will bring a mixed bag of precipitation across Southern Ontario Sunday night into Monday morning. Rain will start in the Windsor area early Sunday evening then spread across the rest of Southwestern Ontario as the warm front moves eastward. South Central Ontario has the potential for a few hours of freezing rain before changing to rain as the precipitation arrives later in the evening. Further north and east snow will start late evening or overnight with amounts of 5 to 10 cm possible into Monday morning. There is also the chance for some freezing rain or ice pellets which would reduce the amount of snow. The precipitation will slowly come to an end through the day on Monday. The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as warnings may be required or extended. Please monitor the latest forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada at www.weatheroffice.gc.ca End -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein

This will be an all rain event for those areas, though there is a chance of mixed precip farther north. -- Logic requires one to deal with decisions that one's ego will not permit.

mr weather Premium join:2002-02-27 Mississauga, ON	I was on the ladder today pulling down as much snow as I could from the roof of our attached garage. The house roof has a pretty steep pitch so there was very little snow left over. I just turned my snow shovel over and "raked" the snow off. No need for a fancy roof shovel. I also spent part of yesterday clearing the snow away from the perimeter of the house. -- "It's all coming down!!" - Mike Holmes

Not really. The only place where it will be a 100% all-rain event is extreme southwestern Ontario and the Niagara Peninsula. The freezing rain is going to occur far further south than you would lead others to believe.

Kardinal Dei Gratia Regina Premium join:2001-02-04 N of 49th	reply to J E F F The snow removal in the downtown core is well underway in Ottawa, and the 25+ cm will be gone by the time the morning commute happens. However, adding more snow/ice pellets, and then six hours of freezing rain, will probably make for an interesting afternoon commute, mostly due to people who scrape off a matchbox size piece of front window "because I'm always home 35 minutes after I leave work" rather than taking the time to scrape ALL their windows. -- All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars All of us do time in the gutter, dreamers turn to look at the cars - Peart / Lifeson / Lee Join Team Helix

digitalfutur Sees More Than Shown Premium join:2000-07-15 BurlingtonON kudos:2	reply to Gone No, really. As of 10 PM, it's at freezing or above everywhere in Southern Ontario from the GTA West, and from the 401 South, including Toronto (+2), Burlington (+2), Hamilton (+1). Precip. has not started in any of these areas yet. The surface temp needs to be slightly below freezing for freezing rain to adhere. As I said, an all-rain event in those areas, in addition to SW Ontario where it's been raining lightly for the past couple of hours. -- Logic requires one to deal with decisions that one's ego will not permit.

digitalfutur Sees More Than Shown Premium join:2000-07-15 BurlingtonON kudos:2	No freezing rain was reported in the areas that I posted about. Unsurprising since the temperature was at for above freezing. As it turns out, the EC forecast was incorrect for those areas, though it was appropriate to err on the side of caution when issuing warnings. -- Logic requires one to deal with decisions that one's ego will not permit.

Freezing Rain warnings were issued for Elgin County, Oxford County, Middlesex County and Norfolk County at 8PM last night. Freezing rain warnings were also in effect for parts of the GTA. Those counties I just mentioned are in Southwestern Ontario, unless of course the map you are looking at is different than the one everyone else uses. Like I said, I have every reason to believe they know more about both the forecasting of weather (and evidently even geography) than you do.
