Now THAT is what I call a super November day 😎 in Canada’s National Capital! Those Geese you hear better get going before the going is too tough. Still ok tomorrow.. my advice is to seize the day. Winter is coming.

Jack-o-lanterns 🎃 get even scarier with snow. No big storms to end the work week, but a spotty flurry or sprinkle is possible. Clouds tend to dominate this time of year, but we can hope for bits of sun here and there. High today 3°. Wind W 10-25. Low -2°. Similar tomorrow.

Before and after views of our first snowstorm of the year. Still a touch of light snow to start the day, but that will mix with or change to showers near midday as temps climb to 3°. Wind SW 10-20. Low 0°. A stray flurry Thurs. and 3°. Rare November sunny breaks for Fri. and 2°.

Autumn in the park. Rain this afternoon will slow down your commute. A stray flurry may precede the rain until temps climb above 0°. High 5°. Wind SE 15-25. Low 2° with showers. A mix of sun and cloud Sat & 3° will be the calm before the storm Sunday. My early call is 7-14cm ❄️.

With just a few light frosts I’ve been able to protect my palms, but with some “freezes” due, it will soon be time for the compost pile. After a passing early morning flurry, look for a mix of sun and cloud and a brisk high of 4°. Wind NW 20-40. Low -5° 🥶. ☔️ by Fri pm & 7°.
