What Is The Weather Today II (No Mercury Jockeying)

[SpongeG]

I went over to Surrey last evening and they had a lot of snow, quite a few cm accumalated, when I came back to the Coquitlam side it was bare, not really any signs of snow at all, Surrey roads were slushy, the side roads were blanketed and on this side nothing. It was raining on both sides at that time just after midnight.

Currently 4 with rain expected.

Incredibly weird weather in Toronto.

Currently 16 (!), which has blown past our forecast of 12. And in a few hours, it will be below freezing with a potential ice storm.

We are 1.6 degrees away from the all time February high (17.7).

-20 on site this morning, I will be glad when this project is buttoned up. But by next week temps are back up. _5 tomorrow the down again to -15 then up to -3 by next Tuesday.

Walked along Bronte Creek below the QEW. Sure is prettier when the water is clear but the rain the last two days was needed.

And I wonder if people take their jeeps and do a mini hill climb up that berm. This is located on a dead end road that splinters off of the service road.

Bronte is one on the top fisheries for steelhead (spawning rainbow trout) come third Saturday in April. Anglers will love seeing the water level raise up and hope it doesn’t go too far down because there have been years it was so low that the fish didn’t enter in numbers like they otherwise would have.

Ottawa did it today! Sitting at 15 degrees at 2pm which is a record. The warmest February day ever recorded here. Looks like the cold front is a few hours away.......

[Metro-One]

Osoyoos: 11
Penticton: 10
Summerland: 10
Kelowna Airport: 2

I could see storm clouds approaching and a cold strong wind as I ended my walk. Later,snow flurries.

From the mid 50s to the mid 20s, in America at any rate.

-9C with a wind chill of -19 and mainly sunny. Looked like an awful day. I had no intention going outside today.

Low of -12C (wind chill of -25) last night.

The warmspot was Daniel's Harbour, NL at 14.7C.

Warmest low was Maple Creek, SK at 5.4C. Well well. Unusual the record warmest low. Most often, it's daily high for them. I guess the bananas are creating their own microclimate and the increased vegetation is pushing the dewpoint and low higher.

[mcminsen]

Rainy and blustery at times.

Wednesday's high at Vancouver Harbour was 9 C, the low was 3 C.

Wild windy night last night in the Capital. Black sky, lightning, thunder, heavy rain, gusty winds. Balcony furniture tossed to one end, thankfully nothing lost. -13 this morning after a high of almost 16 degrees yesterday. Weather Network is showing a big warm up for this weekend with a max of +17 on Tuesday

[MonctonRad]

The cold front is passing through Moncton as I type.

Currently 0C and light freezing rain at 9 AM. There was a brief band of snow at around 8 AM, which has stopped. It was +11C at 4 AM, but, it had dropped to +2C by 7 AM. It will be -7C by the middle of the afternoon and -15C overnight.

There was heavy rain in Sussex NB overnight, and there is now considerable flooding. They are rescuing people from there homes by boat. Lots of high wind too. About 8,000 NB Power customers are currently off line.

[MonctonRad]

Sussex NB this morning.

Apparently Sussex received over 200 mm of rain with this storm event, which, on top of snow melt, has flooded the town.

We got 40-50 mm of rain here in Moncton. Sussex is only about 80 km away.

Flooding is a chronic issue down there. The town lies in a valley at the confluence of several tributaries of the Kennebecasis River.

[megadude]

Was there any warning of flooding for that area? We had rain the last couple of days and a thunderstorm, but there wasn't like a true downpour. So I was surprised when I walked along the river yesterday that it was higher than I expected. But not flood type level.

[MonctonRad]

There was a heavy rainfall warning (for up to 100 mm or rain), which included some mutterings about the potential for flooding, but no actual flash flood warning.

Well hopefully no one got too f'd over.

Sounds similar to our situation in NS last summer. IIRC, the potential for flooding wasn't overly broadcast, and it took many people by surprise.

[OldDartmouthMark]

We had a wind/rain event in NS last night. In Halifax it was less about the rain, though, and more about the wind, with gusts in the 100 km/h range. It was hard to sleep with the wind gusts, and about 7am I heard a thud, which turned out to be a chunk of a large pine tree breaking off and striking my neighbour's deck. These pine trees are quite large, some with trunks in the vicinity of 1 - 2 feet in diameter, but I've noticed a propensity of them to just break off in heavy winds, as opposed to uprooting, which you'd expect. I've seen several of them do this over the past few years, and this was confirmed by an arborist that I had doing some work for me last summer.

Anyhow... glad that's done. Hopefully we get a break until the next one occurs.

The cold front has now reached Labrador. It should hit us in town overnight.



I'm not looking forward to it. Past two days have been so pleasurable with reliably above freezing temps. It wasn't even warm. Just deliciously mild.

[BradFromTO]

TWN has Toronto hitting 17 next Tuesday, which is bizarre as EC is calling for just 9.

Could be flirting with our first 20 of the year.

After that, we fall into a more seasonal (albeit still slightly above) pattern - highs between 5-9, lows just above freezing.

Today could be the last real winter like day we have this season; currently -4, mostly cloudy, a sharp wind.

EC has Windsor as sunny and 21 on Monday, would be their second 20 of the year by March 4th. Pretty nuts!
