A Mid December Super Duper Ultra Mega Hyper Awesome Snowstorm Potential!

Well winter has been relatively uneventful in many areas in Southern Ontario, save of course for the lucky folks who received a winters worth of snow already in 4 days. Now for the big picture; there is a snowstorm potential this weekend. It will come stacked onto a base of about 5cm from a passing clipper this Friday.

This storm is a little difficult to track at the moment because of how early it is. In my thought, however, based on the most likely track of these storms, these are some snow guesstimates. Rain is possible, if not likely, in Montreal, with heaviest snow in Ottawa likely. The further west and north it moves, the worse off we'll be. (Meaning more rain) Right now, i'd say Cornwall should be right along the mix line, and anywhere west should stay snow.

Keep in mind, these are early guesses. Easily changable at this point depending on storm track. This storm system could potentially split into 2 systems, one affecting the Windsor area, hence the higher snowfall amounts, and the big snowfall, the main one in the east. The heavy snow region in the east will be quite narrow. So while it may extend well over to Cobourg, areas just west may receive relatively meager amounts, while areas further east may in fact get well over a foot. Finally, the last map depicts the storm tracks to help clear up confusion. Cross your fingers for this to be all snow!!
