Thursday Morning Report

Woke up this morning to cool temperatures and blue skies. Low temperatures were in the -16 - -17*C range with wind chills around -25*C. Will be cool and sunny for the day.

Heard on the radio this morning that there is a salt shortage because of the storms of late. Salt comes from a mine in Pugwash who are working over time trying to catch up. Thankfully no storms in the forecast.

Evening Update

Well the last of 4 storms has passed us by and we should see some stabilizing of our weather. After a couple of cool days we will have above normal temperatures during next week.

The forecast looks like this:

Thursday A mix of sun and cloud low of -14*C and a cool high of -11, feeling colder with the windchill.

Friday A mix of sun and cloud and a high of -7*C

Saturday Sun and cloud with seasonable temperature of -1*C

Sunday Sun and cloud once again with a high on the plus side at 1*C.

The weekend looks great so make sure you get out and enjoy it.


Today's Recap

After the snow and rain overnight it was a mainly cloudy day with some sunny breaks before lunch. After lunch the wind shifted to the NW and the temperature dropped below freezing with flurries and blowing snow.

Today's high 2.4*C
Low Current temperature -5.3*C
Low barometer 98.9 kPa
High Barometer 100.7 kPa
Snowfall 5 cm

Morning Update


Snow began shortly after midnight and at 3 am I could hear ice pellets hitting the window. All said and done looks like we recieved 5 cm and a little rain. Also had strong winds overnight as furniture on deck is moved around.

It is currently cloudy with a temperature of 2*C.

9:45 pm Update

EC has cancelled the Winter Storm Watch about an hour ago. Now calling for 5 cm except 15 cm inland over higher ground. Temperature continues to rise, -0.7*C.

Evening Update

As mentioned in earlier post today was a sunny day with calm winds.

High -0.6*C
Low -9.2*C

Current -1.3*C
Wind light from the SE
Barometer 101.9 kPa and falling

Storm Update

EC still has a Winter Storm Watch issued for the area, calling for 10-15 cm of snow. Looking at the coastal temperatures which are around freezing and the same temperatures along coastal Maine, this could be on the high side.

My thinking is for around 5 cm at my location before the change over. This is based on temperatures mentioned above and the track of the storm which is to be north of my location. I am still expecting cold air behind this system so flurries/light snow can be expected later tomorrow afternoon.

Will update if required.

Mid Afternoon Update

A great winters day here with clear skies, light winds and temperatures a degree below freezing.

Here is a picture from earlier this afternoon.






EC has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the Halifax area, saying we can expect up to 15 cm of snow followed by rain. We will have to wait and see on that. A quick look at the models shows the system heading up through the Bay of Fundy, putting us on the warm side of the low, meaning mostly rain. Not a lot of cool air around the area so right now until I can take a closer look at things, I will call for some snow turning to ice pellets and rain then back to flurries tomorrow afternoon as some colder air moves in.

The intrusion of cold air should only be temporary as things warm up on the weekend and it looks like it will stay above normal for at least a week. Quite a reprieve from the weather we have had of late, but being winter I would rather have winter like weather.

Will be back this evening with an update on the approaching system.

Wow it has been quite some time since I posted on here. Well it is a new year and time to try it again. Will be back later today with forcast for tonight and tomorrow and hopefully some graphics

After a dusting of snow overnight we had a sunny day until late this afternoon.
