7pm EST (00Z) Synoptic "Snapshot" of the weather for N. Ontario. #onwx #onstorm, just some light patchy snow/or flurries as a strong cold front works it way across NWONT into NEONT. Cold night on tap for NWONT, with Wind Chills in the low ~ -20C, wind will pick up overnight

I think the UK Met office does a good job of describing the polar vortex. Even tho we are in North America, the principles are virtually the same. The jet stream and it's ever-changing pattern affect all across the Northern hemisphere. #onwx #onstorm (Credit: UK Met office)

Look's like a PV (Polar Vortex) lobe(s) will swing SE-ward into N. regions of ONT-I just picked the day of max extent/coverage (~Dec. 8th) for the far north-but the loop shows the "lead in" & "Exit". Added (attached to the post) cross/section for YYZ + 4casted temps for that period. #onwx #onstorm
