Late afternoon Tuesday, Environment Canada upgraded its winter storm warning to “blizzard” for much of southern Ontario. Hamilton could end up with the largest accumulation it’s seen in four years.
Starting around noon Tuesday, between 30 and 45 centimetres (12-18 inches) of snow is expected to be dumped on Hamilton, Burlington, Haldimand, Norfolk, Brant and Niagara. Strong, gusty winds could also develop, causing whiteouts and near blizzard conditions.
The cause of the storm, is a low pressure system developing over the southern states: cold air from the north will combine with “warm sopping moist air from the south.”
“This is when wild weather breaks out,”
This is not good news folks... so I thought we could have some fun... play along just leave a comment and let us know where you are and what is expected for your area. It will be interesting to see how many areas we can cover.
Feel free to post on your blog, lets' get everyone in on the fun.
Please stay safe and warm.
Hugs,
Deb

Hi Deb, I'm near Windsor, ON and it's been snowing here for about hour and a half. It's so windy and COLD!!! Blizzard warnings too. One local newspaper is calling it Snowmageddon. LOL My kids are pretty excited about a snow day tomorrow. We've got a good fire going in the fireplace, just in case the power goes out. Stay warm, and stay home if you can.
Hi Deb, I'm in New Hampshire and we are expecting over a 12" tomorrow. Not to mention all the snow we have already gotten today. Good time to hunker down and watch movies and craft. Take care and stay warm.
It's darned cold here. The snow is deep and we had about an inch of ice first! The snow is coming down sideways now cuz the wind is blowing so hard!
It's a good time to stay inside and bake something!

Well Deb, I love snow but alas none here. I am in eastern NC and am one of the states sending that warm moist weather to greet your cold northern air. It is suppose to be near 70F tomorrow... sorry, really I am as I am a winter person.
Hi Deb,
I'm in Southern Maine, we had about 6 inches today as the "appetizer" to what will be arriving around 4am Wednesday morning! We are expected to receive between 12-18 inches depending on which weather report you watch. It is times like this that I am so glad that I brought all of my wood in this fall.....the generator is full and we have another full can of fuel just in case. We have plenty of TP and food so we should be all set for the day. I also have lots of sewing projects I can work on or just grab a book, a cup of hot chocolate and stay warm! Hope you can stay in and stay warm!

Hi ya Deb, Southeast Ohio here with heavy snowfall and temps in the 20's. Yesterday at 3 a.m. we had 62 degrees and stayed that for about four hours and dropped into the 20's. Wild is right!
Stay safe and warm:)

Hi Deb - I am in Pickering, just east of Toronto. A lot of people stayed home but we did get a lot of snow - but not as much as they were predicting. Shovelled the driveway 3 times yesterday. Today is very nice and sunny.

I'm late coming to the party, I've been shoveling snow! 12" in Pefferlaw last Wednesday, another 8" this past weekend.
I've decided our next house will be closer to the street so we don't have to shovel as much (or we could get a snowblower)

Ok so... I'm a little late on this... but here it goes... I live in Tennessee and we have high of 5o and sunny today and then an artic blast moves in with a chance of snow tonight and later on in the week... CRAZY!! Warm/cold/warm/cold! That's how it is here!
