Environment Canada: Special Weather Statement in effect for Morrisburg, Winchester, Newington, Long Sault, Cornwall, Lancaster, Cornwall & Lancaster.
Morrisburg may see snow as early as this weekend. According to Environment Canada, we could see an early taste of winter this weekend as the first accumulating snowfall of the season is expected Saturday night into Sunday morning.
A low pressure system tracking south of the Great Lakes will come close to Eastern and Central Ontario, bringing with it measurable snow Saturday night into Sunday. Most areas will receive 2 to 5 cm of snow, with amounts of 5 to 10 cm possible over higher ground in a few localities.
Areas along the St. Lawrence River, including Morrisburg, may see ice rain or pellets.

Snowfall and precipitation is expected to ease off Sunday, as the low pressure system slowly moves away.
Motorists should be prepared for the first winter driving conditions of the season. Untreated roads may become covered in snow and slush, and become slippery as a result.
Many vehicles in Eastern Ontario are not yet equipped with winter tires for the season.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada.
The special weather statement from Environment Canada says there is some uncertainty to the track of the weather system, and "confidence of the exact locations and amounts of snow accumulation is low."
