AS THE LOW MOVES EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES THEN CURVES NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY TONIGHT IT IS EXPECTED TO TAP INTO A LOT OF MOISTURE AND ENERGY FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. AS A RESULT IT IS LIKELY THAT THIS LOW WILL INTENSIFY INTO A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM AS IT MOVES INTO SOUTHERN ONTARIO LATER TONIGHT AND FRIDAY.

The bad news, I have to make the trek to work. The good news, my next run will be using snow tires.
