It appears there’s yet more snow on the way to address the extreme shortage of snow in Ottawa:

Currently, there’s a winter storm watch in effect, that I expect will be upgraded to a winter storm warning later today:

Ottawa North – Kanata – Orléans
5:02 AM EST Friday 7 March 2008
Winter storm watch for
Ottawa North – Kanata – Orléans continued
..Winter storm expected to give heavy snow Saturday..
This is an alert to the potential development of dangerous winter weather conditions in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.

Storm totals may be 20 to 30 centimetres along and east of a line from Long Point to the Golden Horseshoe then to Petawawa. There is potential for 30 to 50 centimetres of snow over the Niagara Peninsula and parts of eastern Ontario. Areas west of the Long Point to Petawawa line should see between 10 to 20 centimetres with lesser amounts near Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Behind this system strong northerly winds to 70 km/h are possible. On Saturday strong winds combined with fresh snow will cause blowing snow to lower visibilities and create dangerous driving conditions. Whiteout conditions are possible so travellers should be prepared to alter their plans accordingly.

At least I don’t have a driveway to shovel, but it’s going to be miserable driving tomorrow.
