With the severe weather here last night, I was doing a lot of radar and map
watching.  One of the local TV station weather apps shows the watches and
warnings for Ontario, too.  It was pretty interesting seeing that one town
was getting heavy rain and under a thunderstorm watch, while another town
that looked to be about 20-30 minutes east was getting winter precipitation.
