The Weather Thread

[Gurgie]

I am ready for spring. The last 2 months in Nova Scotia have been unseasonably colder than normal with a shitpile of snow. Today it is a  more normal temperature around the freezing mark. I think the colder weather has migrated to the west more as of late.

I think most places are feeling like this year was a "real" winter.

Yup, old-school winter here with a lot of snow on the ground. Skiing has been good at least 

So obviously you are not tired of it yet ?

I am.

Just changed the auger belt on my snowblower. She has been taking  a beating. Last couple of years I might have used it twice in the season.

I'm a weirdo.

I don't mind this shit.

I don't mind it either, but obviously being a skier helps. For a week I swear I was shoveling every day, we'd get enough that it had to be cleaned, but not enough for the snowblower... last few I've used the snowblower though as there was enough. I'd shovel around the cars & push it down past them & then use the snowblower to clear that, plus my  walkway beside the house to the backyard & then all of my back patio as well & a path to the shed.

Been a fantastic season for the Rideau Canal Skateway this year, it's been open since Dec 31st!! They closed it last night at 10pm & will remain closed today due to warmer temps, but I imagine they'll be able to give it a good flood in the next couple of nights & reopen it later this week.

I will take this cold over rain and slush 10 times out of 10.

Though, I'll admin to breaking down two weeks ago and dreaming of a few beach days in the sun.  But now that it's warmed up a little, we're good.

We were supposed to be getting a massive snowstorm starting last night, and continuing into tomorrow.  25+ cm. 

I was fully prepared to leave the Prius parked this morning and take the CX-5 into work.  I woke up to zero snow, so I took the Prius. 

As of 2PM, this is the current situation during our 'massive snowstorm'You cannot view this attachment.

A light dusting.

On the bright side, I have an appointment with my mechanic tomorrow morning to get the Prius safetied, so at least I won't have any problems getting there.

Crazy warm here today in Fredericton, definitely hit 19 but maybe even 20.  My vehicle read 21 when I was driving home.  Barely any snow left and only in mainly shady areas.  Not much in the way of crusty snow and ice either.  Strange winter.

Major ice storm on the way tonight, 24 hrs of freezing sh*t expected. All schools and most offices already closed.

Warm here, mid-high 20's, but it's been unsettled and stormy the last couple days. Suppose to clear up by Thursday.

Been nice here, too.

This resulted in about 1 million seagulls being on the wing.

Sound was borderline deafening.

It was around 20° in Fredericton yesterday. Unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I wanted to, my wife had a fairly major surgery yesterday morning (she's fine) so I had to stick close to her.

We're supposed to get a bunch freezing rain tonight but then back to warm temperatures tomorrow.

[Firm]

Hoping for a speedy recovery Oliver!

[Johnnymac]

Yes hoping everything went smoothly for your wife's surgery and future recovery Oliver.

Thanks, she had her followup appointment this morning and everything is looking good.

Good to hear. Bed rest or able to walk around?
