Kingston and the Islands MPP Ted Hsu saw his bid to lead the Ontario Liberal Party in the next election come to an end last Saturday, with Bonnie Crombie being selected as the leader of the provincial party.

Festive Flakes Tomorrow Morning

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:19:57 GMT

Today it felt like winter and tomorrow it will look like winter (for some of us). Temperatures this morning actually weren’t too bad, waking up in the 30s. The problem was a lot of clouds today and a north wind that pumped in colder air all afternoon, our temperatures made zero progress from this morning.The north wind was a result of two areas of low pressure offshore from us. The one to the east had more of an influence on our weather today. It caused our north winds and the cold wind over the warmer ocean waters caused enough instability to create a few rain and snow showers over the Cape. Because of the northerly direction, the Cape is the only area that had water to its north and thus the only spot that dealt with the spotty showers.Tomorrow morning the second area of low pressure will control our wind and that will cause them to take a slightly more easterly direction. That more easterly direction will expose the entire coastline of Massachusetts to the onshore wind, whi...
