Well, here we go ........ Gonna be a decent one to start us off.

A powerful fall storm is set to slam Central and Eastern Canada tonight into Wednesday with significant impact likely in sections of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. The low pressure centre is now deepening rapidly as it moves through New England on its way to Southern Quebec. This storm has many dangerous elements including heavy snow, damaging wind, and lake-effect snowsqualls.
Eastern Ontario and Southern Quebec: Heavy Snow and Strong Winds
The triangle from Ottawa to Brockville to Montreal will see the highest impact from heavy snow tonight. Amounts greater than 15 cm are possible with localized areas approaching 30 cm north of this region in the Laurentians. The forecast for Montreal is extremely difficult as the rain/snow line will be right through the city this evening. If more of the precipitation falls as heavy wet snow vs rain, there may be power outages as the few remaining trees with leaves snap under the weight of wet snow. The moisture content of the snow will not be as high farther west in Ottawa, but problems are likely as strong winds coupled with the snow create extremely hazardous conditions on roads in this region such as the 416, 417 and 401.
While snowfall will ease Wednesday morning, strong winds will create near whiteout conditions on area roadways. It's hard to imagine right now, but this is a significant snow storm and travelling tonight through tomorrow morning in this region will be dangerous and is not recommended. Conditions will improve later Wednesday as the low pulls away into Northern Quebec.
