( The Hillbilly weather man) He’s comical but I know many that are carbon copies of this guy in real life. Anyone from NH,VT,ME knows these people.

The first big storm of the winter season is due to arrive in just a few hours. I’m not all that concerned with the 6” to 12” snow expected but the thirty to forty miles per hour winds could make for an interesting evening.

I am concerned for my fishing/hunting cabin, they are looking at 12” to 16”+. I will get more at the elevation of 1890ft, typically with a storm like this you can add 1” of snow per 100ft over 1000ft elevation. The cabin was built in the early 1900s so 20”+ of wet snow on the roof is worrisome. My son has sort of adopted the cabin as a weekend getaway place, I’m getting a bit old to get in and out of the location during winter, That’s definitely a young mans game. It’s about 8 miles from were you need to switch up from a 4wd truck to skies or snowmobile to get in. In deep snow like this you really need a mountain long track type sled, normal snowmobiles will get stuck.
 
I am in Southern Ontario and here is our watch:

Snow squalls are expected. Under the snow squall bands, visibilities will be significantly reduced due to the heavy snow combined with blowing snow, and snow will quickly accumulate.

Snowfall accumulations of 10 to 15 cm are possible under the heaviest snow squalls today. The snow squalls are expected to persist into this evening.

The strongest snow squall is currently located from near Kincardine southeastward through Kitchener-Waterloo. A quick 5 to 10 cm along with reduced visibilities in blowing snow is expected as the snow squall moves across the warned area.

###

Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas.

Snow squall warnings are issued when bands of snow form that produce intense accumulating snow or near zero visibilities.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.cpio-tempetes-ospc-storms.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports to #ONStorm.
