Jim, do you know what the latest 30 degree reading in Nova Scotia is? Seems very late in the game to be flirting with this temp.

Let’s hope it’s a one off and not some climate change induced regular summer theme. BN snowfall this winter and we’ll be in a much worse starting position next year.

We need 25mm+ over 12hrs just to crack the dry ground. Then we need a good 2 day 50-100mm event to put a dent in the drought. Don’t see it in the cards unfortunately. Forecast generally dry. Things could get challenging in a couple of weeks. #nswx

Some chilly air this morning. Down to 6c at my place with some low single digits in other areas of province. Kinda late in the game for risk of frost. Weekend looks subpar as seems the usual. Water tables look low so any rain welcome #nswx

Temps climbing fast. 25c at Shearwater before 8am. Nice springboard to vault us into the 30’s. Sea breeze has been muting the heat on the coast but today is our day to shine. #nswx

Winters back broken. Should be a good melt this week. Lakes will take a while. Coolish winter with not much snow to show for it. Bit disappointed as we fanned on every pitch as far as snowstorms go. Ski hills did ok for a change.

That system on Friday could be sneaky. It’s been fading on the models last few days but the euro still gets close. Regardless storm goes beast mode. Sub 960mb south of NS. #nsstorm

That seamed like a hard landing causing gear collapse (no expert). Probably fortunate the snow otg might have kept the fire minimal. Still safest mode of transportation but these recent incidents are concerning.

Looks quiet for a good stretch of this week. Daytime temps approaching zero w/sun will allow a slow melt. Going to take some time to melt this driveway glacier. Ready for spring. #nsstorm

Roads not great but not terrible. Driveways in the county are a disaster. Pretty much everyone has a rink whether they like it our not. Assume all surfaces are ice. Do it all again in a couple days. Wheeee….. #nsstorm

That cut off was well forecast by the models. About 6cms in Windsor Jct. I’m outside the meat but good ratios providing a boost. Should get close to 10 when finished. Nice pack refresher. #nsstorm

Roads are dreadful this morning. Be careful if out and about. Next week looks active. Lots of s/w’s in the pipe but due to fast compressed flow, nothing major as of yet. #nsstorm

MSY with a bigger snowstorm than YHZ, YYZ, and YQX has seen so far is mind blowing. Louisiana with more snow otg than Nfld. Wow!

Things look to get active and colder starting next week. The blocking pattern is breaking down allowing more potential storms to impact our area. First wintery threat looks like Mon/Tues. #nsstorm

Blocking keeping things quiet. I would keep a slight eye on the Sunday/Monday timeframe. Long shot but a few models/ensembles get a storm close to NS. Low confidence right now. #nsstorm

Should add that image is the 0z. The 6z is even more ominous and almost morphs the s/w into a bonafide nor’easter.

Very tricky forecast. Just glossed over the morning models. Tri county looks favoured for sig snow. GFS would be challenging. An outlier but it’s one solution.

22cms in Windsor Jct. Snow is meaty so probably some compaction. Don’t want to say final as there is a backend to come through. Might add a few more to storm total. #nsstorm.

Yup saw that. This won’t be a gradual ramp up. More like a wall heading in. Very quick escalation. It’s also a period where we get most of our snow accumulation. Still thinking 15-25 west HRM. Dartmouth east will be tricky with mix/changeover. #nsstorm

Will be interesting to see how far IP mix gets into NS. That will impact snow totals. Should ensure snow otg for Christmas. Actually a small s/w or inverted trough might produces flakes on the big day. #nsstorm
