We’ll be shovelling for the next few days

The snow continues Thursday and overnight, with an accumulation of 4 to 8 cm over the next 24 hours.  There will be a wind, but not enough to reduce visibility much over what the snow will cause.  Still, allow extra time to get to your destination and increase your following distance behind the car ahead of you.  The snow continues on Friday, but with a stronger wind.  Accumulations will be another 2 to 4 cm during the day.  As the snow clears out on Saturday, we’ll be treated to a drop in temperatures to approaching 20 degrees below normal.
