Fred.... I think Canada stole a nor'easter from you. Note the bold/italic part. Jac, care to chime why this is going due north instead of northeast?

The large low pressure system originally from Texas is weakening.
However another low pressure system is developing over southeastern
states and is following an uncommon path due north into south-Central
Ontario tonight.
This low will bring an expanding area of rain back
into Southern Ontario with a general rainfall of 15 to 25 mm expected
in many areas by Friday morning.  The rain may continue through
Friday especially in Eastern Ontario.  As a result rainfall warning
has been issued for Eastern Ontario as it appears that many areas
will receive 25 mm or more within 24 hours.

Colder air on the west side of the track of this low is expected to
Move into Southwestern Ontario tonight..Resulting in a changeover to
snow.  Latest indications suggest a few centimetres of snow are quite
possible over areas southwest of the Niagara Escarpment Friday.
However significant amounts of wet snow are expected tonight into
Friday morning over portions of Southwestern Ontario.
Motorists planning to travel to areas from southwest from London
should be prepared for the possibility of deteriorating winter
travelling conditions tonight.

During breaks in precipitation fog will form in many area beginning
early this evening.

Environment Canada continues to closely monitor this situation.
