Yet another winter storm warning

We’re expecting snow of 20 to 30 cm over the next day or two.

Winter storm watch for City of Toronto issued 2:43 PM EST Thursday 6 March 2008

..Another winter Wallop threatens spring forward weekend..

This is an alert to the potential development of dangerous winter weather conditions in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.

A winter storm is currently brewing over Texas with the potential to bring significant snow to most of southern Ontario. It appears that the snow will come in two doses. The first shot will begin as early as Friday afternoon for southwestern Ontario and Friday evening in eastern Ontario. We may have a brief reprieve overnight into Saturday morning where snow may become light and more intermittent. The heaviest snowfall is then expected in the second shot beginning later Saturday. Keep in mind that this storm is expected to last for 36 to 48 hours.

Storm totals may be near 30 centimetres along and east of a line from Long Point to the Golden Horseshoe then to Petawawa. There is potential for 30 to 50 centimetres of snow over the Niagara Peninsula and parts of eastern Ontario. Areas west of the Long Point to Petawawa line should see between 10 to 20 centimetres with lesser amounts near Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Behind this system we could see strong northerly winds to 60 km/h. On Saturday strong winds combined with fresh snow will cause blowing snow to lower visibilities and create dangerous driving conditions. Whiteout conditions are possible so travellers should be prepared to alter their plans accordingly.

Total snowfall amounts will depend on the track of this system. There is still some uncertainty as to the exact track of this storm. Environment Canada will closely monitor this situation and issue warnings as required within the next 24 hours.

More snow

We had some snow Wednesday as the jet stream dipped into Texas, pulling cold Arctic Air practially down to Galveston.

We shovelled because we know it will be getting cold again and there’s more snow coming.

Monday Melee for January 28

I just discovered this collection of bloggers about getting organized: Monady Melee.

The Monday Melee up til now has been answers to these five questions:

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.
2.  The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.
3.  The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.
4.  The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.
5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.
6.  The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

The new questions are these:

1. The Magnificent: Name someone you absolutely adore, and tell us why.
2. The Muddy: Tell us something about life you just don’t “get”.
3. The Magnetic: Name something or someone good (or bad) you’re drawn to and you just can’t help it. Tell us if you want to change this or not.
4. The Mainstay: Who or what is something you just can’t live without? Why?
5. The Masquerade: Tell us something about yourself we wouldn’t already know.
6. The Mettle: Tell us about a time you showed courage in yourself, or tell us what you wish you had the courage to do.
