What Is The Weather Today II (No Mercury Jockeying)

[MonctonRad]

Snowfall warning has now ended in Moncton. Currently -1C with light snow and blowing snow. The transition to rain should occur within the hour.

On one of my projects sites today. most walls are still not up so the wind blowing through was tough to deal with. But the snow has stopped, about 10cm if we are lucky. Temps were -23C but feels like -32. Even full winter PPE it was cold. Plus cleats on boots (mandatory PPE in the winter) and the finished concrete was still bloody slippery.

In Moncton today:

H6º L-10º

Lots of snow this morning as MonctonRad mentioned, its turned to rain and its coming down pretty heavy at the moment.

It's going to be an interesting couple hours here as temperatures climb to 6º around 8pm and ~12mm of rain should fall, coupled with the melting snow from today it's going to be wet and messy. Driving the TCH the roads are slick.

Wind will also pick up here soon as gusts from 85-100kph are expected until the evening.

Coming from Toronto yesterday this is now the second time I've sat through this system lol.

Next few weeks will be cold in Toronto, with the peak seemingly arriving around Tuesday/Wednesday next week. Highs will hover around -10, with lows around -15. Since it is an El Nino year, it could be our coldest stretch of weather this season.

Last winter, our coldest temperature was -21.8. Doesn't look like it will get quite that cold this go around, but on the flip side, we did not have a stretch longer than a few days last year of frigid weather, whereas this pattern will stick around for at least 10 days or so.

In any case, today is not a very nice day; 1, overcast and very windy and blustery.

7 day forecast:1/1/2/1/-2//-5/-9

Light snowfalls expected Thursday and Saturday. Unlikely to exceed 5cms.

It seemed it became a few degrees colder once the wind started blowing more so, by noon.
The overcast conditions were nice for a little walking around downtown.

Cold but spectacular. Had to get off the bus at the post office to pick up my books for winter but it was a cozy walk home.

Taking a selfie outside Freshco this afternoon, I was stunned to see a tiny patch of blue sky and sun in the sea of gray.

As TownGuy mentioned they’re predicting for -10 for an overnight low for Victoria on Friday with the daytime high of only -4. We’re currently sitting at 4 C at 9 pm in the city of Victoria, with the prediction we’ll go to -1 tonight, the first time below zero this winter.

I don’t know if it’ll really get that cold, seems a bit extreme. The coldest low for Gonzales (main Victoria station) from 1973 to 2023 for Jan 12 is -4.5C.

Those sunny pics I took on the weekend are quite a contrast to the wind storm we had yesterday. Pics by Colin Smith from yesterday taken with along the same shoreline I was at, but beside the cruise ship terminal. Big storms will toss rocks, stick and small logs onto the road - some of these people clearly have a death wish, lol. Photos by Colin Smith Takes Pics on Facebook.

^^^ Spectacular!

Calm and dry with a mix of sun and cloud.

Wednesday's high at Vancouver Harbour was 6 C, the low was 3 C.

All those poor plants about to get an extreme shock.

El Niño really sleeping on the job.

I see this cold surge will hit Portland hard as well, along with Texas (Dallas could fall to below -10 in a few days) and quite an extended cold snap coming for places such as Memphis. Atlanta currently has a -9 in tune forecast.

It always amazes me how much of North America, even the regularly mild areas, are still susceptible to sudden relatively deep freezes.

[SignalHillHiker]

It sounds brutal outside. Howling wind, loud slaps of some sort of frozen precipitation against the windows.

Edit: it is indeed disgusting out.



Edit: The short walk from the bus stop to the office was genuinely painful. Not cold but the ice pellets hitting my face were like getting whipped lol

[mcminsen]

Speaking of brutal, how about Friday night in Red Deer, Alberta?

-30 this morning on my way in. going to a low of -38 Saturday night. Then for Monday Shorts weather -9 for the high. Should be interesting to see how many frozen pipes are found Monday. It would be after these cold snaps that I would do a number of damage assessments from frozen pipes.

Had boiler start up this week on a couple of projects, I have asked that the Temp heat stays in place until next week. Don't want to have blown pipes on a new project.

+3C and partly cloudy in Moncton at 11 AM. Most of the snow that fell yesterday morning has melted.

-40s in central Alberta!! Tancredi would be impressed.

Neither do we.

You would be warmer in Red Deer if you crawled into your freezer.

Had steel going up on a project Yesterday. Not on site today , but will be back Monday.

Had another site the welders never showed up but that was because the guys setting up scaffolding did show. -30 is the limit for most guys working outdoors. I can see, you may be able to work but production is way down.

We got a little dusting of snow last night, not much of it stuck though, as our mean temp is actually above freezing so far this month. The low was -0.1 this morning.

Tomorrow we're looking at another 10mm of rain and high of 4. Then we finally get some sustained cold weather starting Sunday.

Winnipeg got some snow over the past day or so - looks like proper winter now.

Temps are settling in to the low to mid -20s for the foreseeable future, so winter is finally here after a very above normal December.

The coastal mountain range in the North Shore got dumped on. Lots of fresh snow up there. I'll try to get a couple of pictures this afternoon.
