Morning Express – Tuesday, November 21

We’re in for some messy / cold weather for the remainder of the week – but it may not be as bad as you think. Then again, it may be. Right now the forecast calls for up to 15cm of snow between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday night. We could see accumulation of 3cm to 10cm depending on when the rain changes to snow. The other threat will be from lake affect, at least for a portion of the next 24 hours.
