And So It Begins...

The weatherman is forecasting a major storm is on the way, expected to hit the GTA Wednesday morning -- maybe. See, its too early to tell right now (Monday), but they are watching it as it takes shape in Colorado. It may come this way, it may not. It may snow, then again it might be rain. At this time its just too hard to predict, but they just wanted us to know that there is a possibility that I could happen ... and if it does, than maybe Wednesday.

So to paraphrase, be ready, cause you know it's like December in Canada and it like may, you know, snow. It's been known to happen.

Don't forget, you heard it here first.

And so it begins...

Environment Canada has issued a warning about the first major snowfall of the season that's due to hit the GTA on Thursday.
A system approaching from the Ohio Valley could drop as much as one to five centimetres of wet snow on the city, with 10-15 possible in cottage country and in places like Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton.
Add in some strong northwesterly winds that could gust as high as 50 kilometres an hour at times and freezing rain in spots and you have the making for major headaches and the kind of day where you wish you could just pull the covers back up over your head.
But experts are advising you to get up early instead. The first real snow of the year almost always creates havoc on the roads, as drivers get used to navigating in slippery conditions. But it's not yet clear just how much of this first fall will actually stay on the pavement. The ground is still relatively warm and it's hoped some of the frigid flakes will melt once they hit. Environment Canada believes grassy areas and places in higher elevations will see the longest lasting and biggest accumulations.
