3C and rainy today. Rain was mixed in some flakes.

Low of 0C last night. The rain did turn into snow so we woke with a 1-2 cm in the ground. But it melted during the day.

The warmspot was Kamloops, BC at 13.9C.

Warmest low was White Rock, BC at 7.9C.

+2C and light drizzle in Moncton at 9 AM.

Quite a variable weather pattern over the Maritimes right now. There is a snowfall warning in northern NB for today (maybe 30 cm on the Peninsule). Showers and wet snow in the south of the province with little to no accumulation. In NS, the Atlantic coast with be receiving substantial rain. Further north on the Northumberland shore and in Cape Breton, there will be onshore snow squalls. Fairly windy in places too.

Basically, if you don't like the weather where you are, just hop in the car and drive down the road 20 km and things will be different (not necessarily better).

The weather will be unsettled most of the week. In Moncton, daily hghs will range roughly from +2 to +6C.

+7 and sunny here today. High of +13 and sun tomorrow, +15 and sun on Wednesday. The "normal" high right now is +3 to +4.

Cold weather returns next week though with highs barely above freezing and a bit of snow.

Made it safely.

Landing at Deer Lake.







$205 1.5-hour taxi ride past Corner Brook...





And safely in Stephenville hours before lunch.







It's hurricane-force winds out here, definitely need to brace yourself when walking around. Very little snow compared to St. John's.

Another creek this morning but the highlight was the mini skating rink that formed on the baseball diamond from Saturday's rain and overnight cooling. Walking on it is very satisfying. Would have been even more so if I put spikes on.

[QUOTE=mcminsen;10161442]My surgery went well and what luck, I scored a top floor room with a view.
I can't tell you how therapeutic it is to be able to see out and watch the sky
for several days as you're completely immobilized and zonked out on Hydromorphone.

This was my view last weekend.



Hope your recovery goes well. You could ask to be on the construction side of that hospital. Get us shots.

Lost 1/2 of our snow already. maybe by Friday 80% f it will be gone.

Went for a least one more Fat bike ride yesterday, -4 when we started and 2 hours later it was +8 already.

And a week after standing on a roof at -18C I was back up in +4 at 8am.

Many locations in southern Manitoba overachieved today with temperatures 5°+ higher than were forecast. Have to wait for the official numbers but this may be YWG's first > 10.0° day of 2024. Winnipeg - The Forks at 11° has exceeded that mark. Other locations include Morden, Emerson, Gretna, Victoria Beach, Beausejour and Pinawa, which at 14.3° this hour is the provincial and Western hotspot.

At 5 pm YWG has high cloud, winds a bit gusty from the south, and 10°.

Good to hear. Hopefully the recovery goes smoothly.

3C and sunny late this afternoon. Breezy so it's not super pleasant. Also took a while to clear, around 3PM

Low of -3C (wind chill of -11). Snow last night so we woke up to a renewed snow blanket that had pretty much melted the day before.

The warmspot was Fort Frances, ON at 16.0C.

Warmest low was Entrance Island, BC at 6.3C

Thanks everyone. My recovery is indeed going well. I have to be careful to not overdo it for a while.
My surgeon said no running or downhill skiing or the like.

Re: St. Paul's... The new St. Paul's Hospital is under construction in another part of the city, near Pacific Central Station on Main.
The oldest part of St. Paul's on Burrard will be preserved and the rest of the old site will eventually be redeveloped.

Miserable on the west coast. Hovering just above freezing with rain. But the hurricane-force winds have stopped.

Wishing you a great recovery! The view is familiar to me, although I have never been the patient myself.
