weatherman had been predicting for more than a week was movlllg eastward across Ontario yesterday with Just a chance It might reach Montreal and extend into some sections of Western Quebec today.

Preceded by fierce electrical storms-one of which masked $100,000 damage at 'l‘imagam‘. in Northern Ontario yesterday a'tpr- noon-the cool air was‘ l-llnli-lg promises of respite from 00-da- gree temperatures into actua-itv throughout Ontario as thermomet- ers recorded drops of l0 to t5 de- grces.

Clearing skies were to foilow the clouds and storms Whififl the weatherman said were moving with the leading edge of the coni- clr mass.
