Temperature readings in Canada are measured in Celcius.
Yesterday was pretty nice here with temps around 5°C and lots of sun.The proverbial calm before the storm,apparently.Later today we are expecting snow possibly mixed with,or changing to,freezing rain.So far there is nothing happening here but some precip is appearing on the radar in the far western parts of the province.There are no weather warnings in effect at this time.
I have to get an early start on things today so will be updating later on the storm's impact on this area.
