Well, it’s here - the first snow of 2026, and already some are celebrating the “white stuff” by playing Christmas songs in cafes and businesses.
Previously suggested by local meteorologists, many in the region woke up to a small amount of accumulation on the ground and on their vehicles. Thankfully, as the day continues, temperatures are warming up, which will allow the ‘white stuff’ to melt and give way to rain.
Meanwhile, for those with kiddos at home, many are taking to their front yards, their backyards, and naturally to Maple Leaf Reservoir Park, to take advantage of the fresh accumulation.
Taking a moment, the following photo was recovered mid-morning near the Northern trail entrance off Reservoir Park.
As of this article, snow is coming down in clumps, with the predicted model claiming around an inch at best in accumulation. By 4pm today, the weather should warm up to around 39-degrees Fahrenheit. By tomorrow, temps will return to over 40 with a high of 51, with rain returning to the forecast Saturday thru Thursday next week.
Let us know in the comments how you celebrated the first snow in 2026.
