What Is The Weather Today II (No Mercury Jockeying)

[SignalHillHiker]

Damn. NTV is predicting a minimum of 50cm with 80+cm possible for St. John's.



The bullseye is pretty small and still lots of time for it to spare us.

Sunny with cloudy periods and chilly at 5c. Some nice light for the drone though.

[Nicko999]

5C with rain on and off. Rain stopped this evening so it turned out a not too bad evening. About 4C and a bit of a breeze. Nothing to complain in early March.










Last night was actually milder at 7C

The warmspot was Western Head, NS at 13.8C

Warmest low was Shelburne, NS at 5.8C

Some good news. Still a day off tomorrow which gives us about two full weeks worth of snow days this winter

A real dog's breakfast here in Moncton at present.

Officially, at the airport, it is -0.3C with freezing rain in the city, but, at my house, and on the drive into the hospital it was purely rain. Just 20 km northeast of the city it is ice pellets in Shediac, and a further 15 km north around Cocagne, it is snow.

Take your pick.

In any event, in the city, about 4-6 hours of freezing rain and ice pellets are expected, followed by 5-15 cm of snow on the back end of the system.

The mild weather and rain had got rid of most of the snow that had piled up around the city.....just enough time to get a months worth of snow in 36 hours.

[MonctonRad]

It has since turned to snow in Moncton, which is just as well. Freezing rain gives me the willies. I hate the thought of even the slight possibility of losing power......

After a blustery and cloudy day yesterday, today is very nice, currently 7 and sunny, rising to 10.

March looks like it will be yet another above average month, despite a few cool downs, including quite a significant one in a few weeks that could see snow and freezing temps as late as the Spring equinox. But as we've seen all winter, these cold snaps never last more than a few days this season.

7 day highs: 10/8/5/3/7/10/11

C'mon, let's break 100 lol

^ Crazy stuff. At least, it won’t stick around too much. It’s impressive how quick fresh snow melts this time of year. It won’t have time to turn into the hardened stuff that melts very slowly.

It's still calm with very light precipitation. Even EC has now upped its forecast to 55-85cm for the city. We should wake up to some significant snow. Worst of it will be Friday morning through Saturday morning.

I'm hoping it's not as bad as Snowmageddon, when the City shut down for 8 days. I have a flight across the island for work on Monday. 45 minutes to fly instead of 12 hours on the fucking bus, which stops for "lunch" at Gander Airport even though there's nowhere to eat there lol. Torture. Back when I went to college, our public system (17 campuses around the island) used to only offer courses at one location - so didn't matter I lived near the three campuses in St. John's, my program could only be taken on the West Coast lol. So I've done that fucking bus ride more times than my share, and cannot face it again lol.

It's Eric Hamber Secondary. The white building is the new school replacing the existing building to the right.

[GeneralLea]

Good lord, that's a hell of a lot of snow. I wish you could give us some

[Nicko999]

8C and sunny today. Another 10/10 early March day.

Low of 3C this morning.

The warmspots were Trenton and Peterborough, ON at 13.2C

Warmest low were Sartine Island and Cape St James, BC at 4.3C

[SignalHillHiker]

It's not so bad yet. Maybe 5" of ice pellets down. The backside of the storm is feeding on warm, wet tropical air so the snow, when it comes, will be heavy.

Most of the city is shut down already.



Th mixing lin between blue snow and pink ice made it pretty far north. It's shifting south now. St. John's is in the pink up from centre right. The blue areas directly adjacent to the pink is where the totals up around 80-90cm will happen. We should be a bit lower than that but it'll still best 50cm.

[Marty_Mcfly]

Snow and -2 at 10:30am.

Current totals are around 20cm at the airport, the further south you go the less has fallen. Paradise totals around 15cm. The mix line was right over metro all night, so there was quite a bit of ice pellets instead of snow (which is why further south got more ice than snow).

On one hand, that means snowfall totals could be a little less than expected since 20-30 was expected to fall between yesterday evening and around 5am this morning. On the other hand, whatever snow needs to be shoveled will be incredibly heavy.

Mix line has moved south again and we're in full snow for the rest of the storm. 20-30 expected today, 15-25 overnight, and then another 5 tomorrow before stopping late morning tomorrow.

Amherst NS

H0º L-3º
Mostly cloudy, lots of wind at the moment.

We didn't get as much snow as we had expected over the last 24hours, IIRC we were due for 30-35 cm we maybe got 5? Pretty lack luster storm, mostly rain. But I won't complain id rather spring with no snow on the ground rather than a massive dump. Im over winter, ready for summer .

[SignalHillHiker]

Yeah, Marty - people are saying it feels exactly like shoveling sand.
