Beautiful sunshine and 9C this afternoon. That will be our high for the day, but it has been a grand day nonetheless.

Very cool and windy today here in SW AB. Still nothing like those 120 km+ gusts we saw on Sunday

It's become quite overcast this afternoon, apparently rain & wind on its way (soon? or later?). Only about 7C, so still well-short of the earlier target forecasted this morning by the weather folks (but lots of afternoon left!!)

A nice 5C with a beautiful half moon brightly shining in the southern sky.

-3° under cloudy skies with a high of only 6° today with *shudders* snow this afternoon.

Beautiful sunshine and 5C temps already today. I am going to mow the lawn for the last time, but moreso to mulch the leaves that fell overnight. Most trees still have about 20% of their leaves, so this will have to be done next week as well. We shall see.

A -16° wind chill makes our -9° temperature this morning seem much colder. A high today of -1°.

Light snow fall falling this AM in SW AB. They have upped the ante on last nights prediction of less than an inch. Now we can supposedly expect 4-6 inches. We shall see.

Temp is around -3°C on it's way to a blistering predicted high of -6°C.

I think we can officially declare winter underway.:ptptptptp

:eek::eek::eek:XX)

10C in sunshine at we approach 1PM here in St.John's. A nice day to be out raking leaves ......... and watching my dogs run through these piles of leaves to mulch.

1C and fog early this morning, 'fresh' for my walk. Bright and sunny morning, heading to a possible 7C for the high.

A brisk -13° this morning with a high today of only 3°.

-15°C earlier this AM. The snow kindly limited itself to about an inch yesterday. Stayed at home yesterday knowing that too many drivers would have forgotten about ice over the last four or five months.:eek: Hopefully this group is now sidelined in the body shop thus making the roads safe for the rest of us.:)

Sunshine and 5C right now. A bit of a breeze is helping blow off the leaves from the trees. We still have about 20% leaf cover, which is atypical for this time in November.

Nice early-fall day -- from about 3C this morning, to about 8C this afternoon -- no wind, dry, and sunny. Many trees still have most of their fall-coloured leaves, and many others still have leaves that are very green. A big "fall" to come soon, I suspect!!

Beautiful sunshine but a cool 2C outside. Still, my dogs like the opportunity to just lie on the back deck and warm themselves in the sunlight.

-9° today on the way to only -1° as we slowly sink into winter.

0C this morning, our coldest morning so far. Looks like a decent day ahead, mostly sunny and up to about 8C.

-9° today on the way to only -1° as we slowly sink into winter.

:(:-(

It is too early for talk of Winter. :ptptptptp

Cool here in St.John's as well, but sunshine and now 3C makes taking the dogs for a walk pleasant.

Actually we in Alberta had a bit of a reprieve this year. Winter usually blows in just in time to catch the trick or treaters. This year it held off until the fourth of November. Alpen-glo two mornings running so Winter has indeed officially arrived.

Here in SW AB we are currently at -12°C but hoping to hit 0°C for maybe 20 or 30 seconds. Any ways the sun is/will be out and wind is down so all in all a pleasant winter day.:)

Pleasant fall day here. 3C is still not cold enough to cause all the leaves to come down from the trees, so we still have a nice display of yellows and oranges and reds to glow in the morning sunshine. The dreary days of Winter, complete with lots of snow, will sadly come soon enough. Still, for today, it is just something to think about as gardening chores need to be completed.

A very windy night, but with 6C at least it is not cold as we look up at a beautiful moon in the southern sky.

A chilly 2° as we begin the fall to -11° tonight.

Sunny and 5C this morning. Very windy, which is blowing more and more leaves off of the trees.

Our high for the day will be 5° when we get there later this afternoon. Currently we sit at -5°.

Overcast, 4C for my walk this morning. Rain on its way, sprinkles had just started on my return. High of about 6C forecasted.

Sunny and 5C which might be our high for the day. We shall see.

Looks like seasonal temps for the next few days here in SW AB.

Still compared to last year "seasonal" looks awfully good. :)

We've reached 1° near the noon hour. Four more to go.

About 5C here, at noon. Wet, windy, and damp-cold - that wet, west coast stuff that chills to the bones, and aggravates our arthritis!!

A beautiful nearly full moon is high in the south eastern sky. Still 5C and the clouds are drifting slowly in front of the moon every few minutes. A nice evening ............. even if it is only 520PM and dark outside.

We outdid ourselves and got to 7° this afternoon. a nice fall day. Today we surpassed a record set in 1953 for the latest date without snowfall of November 6. Every day now adds to the new record although there is snow forecast for Friday.

It's worse here ..... 3C, windy, wet, and damp-cold (to say the least!!). Well, as they often say out here, at least it's not snowing!!

Clear skies and 2C ...... but the moon is shining brightly, as are the stars and planets that are visible to the naked eye. A fine evening.

You must live halfway up the mountain. Or worse.

We are told to expect a bone chilling 4 overnight low here in the Sainted Islands.

I would not expect a noon temp of 5 til like Xmas or New years, and then we will have some rip-roaring bonfires going to stave off the chill.

Clear skies and 2C ...... but the moon is shining brightly, as are the stars and planets that are visible to the naked eye. A fine evening.

We had visitors from Ontariario last night, and enjoyed the moon and stars. And they quite enjoyed the deer and owls and all the little birds, and the last of our flowers that we have managed to keep the deer off for this one last fambly visit from Back East, as we call anything that side of Sask..

A beautiful moon and lots of stars here as well, Dr. T. ............ here in the end of "Back East". :D

Another nice fall day at -5° with a sunny high of 4° today. Flurries are expected on Friday.

A cloudy 7C this morning, but sunshine and warmer temps are forecast for later today. We shall see.

Overcast, calm, and 6C this morning, heading up to a forecasted high of 9C, with some showers.

Beautiful sunshine and 11C temps. Wish we had this sort of weather in June. Such is Life. Still, this sort of day in early November is a gift from Mother Nature, and shall be appreciated and enjoyed.

3° in bright sunshine with no wind as we approach the noon hour.

About 8C here at noon, though it doesn't feel it. Overcast, low clouds weighing on the horizon, light rain.

10C as the sun is starting to set, turning everything in the western sky pink. A nice way to end a fine day.

Wow, it sure changed here since my last post. The clouds thinned and parted for a while, and we were able to sit out on the balcony to enjoy a few minutes of sunshine (and some wine!!). The sun break didn't last long, but it was enjoyed while it lasted.

Sunny and 6C already this morning. A fine Fall day, with lots of fall colors all about us still.

A stiff breeze makes our temperature of -9° feel like -16° this morning.

9C with lots of sunshine and no wind ........... feels like June.

Still 9C with a nice sunset starting to form. I still have to get used to the sun setting this early in the afternoon/evening.

Mild fall day, stayed near 8C overnight, so a rather balmy early-morning start to the day, and for my early-am walk. Up around the 10C mark at present (just before noon), and could get higher -- a bright, overcast sky. The trees are bewildered!!

A cool noon hour at only 2° with scattered cloud and a cold wind.

Beautiful sunset here ............ but it's not even 5PM yet. :(

Forecast for tomorrow looks good, maybe I'll get my lawn cut once again and some more leaves cleaned up.

A beautiful full moon with Jupiter shining brightly nearby in a clear sky. 6C and no wind makes this a grand evening.

Sunny skies with no clouds and no wind, makes the 4C temps feel mild. A fine day is shaping up.

1° this morning on the way to 9° today, unusual for November, but snow is forecast to begin tomorrow and continue for a few days. I am not looking forward to shovelling the white stuff. if it stays as mild as forecast, most of it should melt.

Sunshine and 9C as we approach 1PM. A grand afternoon weather-wise.

Great early-fall day -- an overcast, but balmy 10C for my walk at 5:30 this morning. Broken skies after that, turning to some lovely sunshine and very mild temp's by early-afternoon. Just came in from an hour out on the balcony - soaking in some of the sunshine and a little wine. Took the air temperature, 15C in the shade. There's a big change coming for tomorrow, but for now, we have no complaints!!

A beautiful full moon and Jupiter are shining brightly this evening.

1° this morning under cloudy skies with a high today of 4° with flurries possible.

Heavy rain showers this morning -- brought down thousands of leaves to blanket local walks, streets, and driveways. Up to about 9C this afternoon, then a major change is forecasted for later this afternoon, evening, and overnight -- clearing, and a wind warning has been issued, with NW winds of up to 90 clicks forecasted, and the temperature dropping to about 0C overnight.
Ouch! - from very spring-like conditions yesterday, quickly back to winter stuff tonight!!

Thunder here! Very unusual. (The heavy rain and winds aren't so unusual.)

A quiet 8C temps today after a fine weather day for the Remembrance Day services.

Just 0° as we prepare for a low of -5° and our first snowfall of the season, an anticipated 2 - 5 cm to be on the ground by morning.

So here in SW AB, been snowing since noon. Finally tapered off about an hour ago with 3 inches on the ground. Temp about 0°C.

No snow as of this writing but it is forecast to hit between now and dawn, an accumulation of 5 cm. It won't last though, with a high of 5° today.

A windy 10C, but with winds out of the southwest, they are balmy.

And the snow continues this AM. Thankfully not very deep but wet and heavy as early season snows tend to be.:ptptptptp

Well, our snow has arrived but nowhere near projections, more of a skiff really. Now at -2‚ with a revised high of 0° under cloudy skies.

Still windy, sunny and still 10C as the leaves are still coming off of the trees. We are down to about 10% leaf cover, which is still a great amount for this time in November.

Sunshine and 8C at 11AM here in St.John's. Looks like a great Fall day is developing.

Still sunny and a nice 9C as we approach 2PM. A grand day to be outside gardening, which is what I have been doing since noon.

2° as we near the noon hour with light snow, but big flakes falling.

:eek::eek::eek::(

A wind chill of -12° with an actual temperature of -6° and light snow this morning.

Morning all. Woke up to a beautiful sunrise this morning. Sunny blue skies with a chilly 2C outside makes for the start of a great day.

Lovely weather for mid November - 14 today - mixed sun and cloud and rain....was 17 all last night. :D

Cloudy and 8C as we approach 4PM tea time here in St.John's.

The wind is up, snow falling and a wind chill of -10° over the noon hour.

:eek::(:eek:

It's noonhour, about 7C, it's clear, with a bright-blue sky, and blowing a NorWester. OK, remaining leaves, if you can handle this one without falling, you're good to go for the winter!! Good luck!!

Foggy morning, but with 11C temps, I am not complaining. I love fog and hate snow and cold weather, so today is fine with me.

-11° with a wind chill of -16° and a high of only -4° today.

My Mac's weather widget says +10, but every other weather service here ranges between -1 and +1. Too damn cold for Mexico... Especially without central heating, insulation, windows that actually close... Why did I decide a mountain desert would be a good place to live...?

CM, it is going up to 14C in Halifax today, so think of home ............. that might help you to stay a bit warm. Good luck, mi amigo.

11C here in St.John's as the fog slowly lifts.

-14°C here in SW AB overnight. Looks like a struggle for zero followed by colder weather later this week.:eek:

For you ski bums almost all of the Colorado Ski areas are now open.

With La Nina once again settling in, it looks like another long cold winter for those of us out west. Last winter we used all those palm trees Hensen sent us as firewood. If he and Mann would be kind enough to send us several more cords it would be very much appreciated.

-10° with a wind chill of -18° at the noon hour. No way will we reach our forecast high of -4° today.

Still 11C with rain replacing the fog. It is a bit gloomy outside, but there are still yellow leaves on the maple tree outside my window so it makes things a bit less glum.

At near noon, it's clear, bright, and 'fresh', about 6C. Closer to 1C for my early-am walk - clear and dry, bright moon and stars, great conditions!!

Starting to snow.:ptptptptp

:eek::eek::eek::-(

Up to 12C now that the rain has stopped and the fog has returned. Looks like a scene out of an old Sherlock Holmes movies with the streets of St.John's replacing the foggy streets of London.

Now that's the St. John's I experienced several times in the 80's. Many fond memories of walks in the fog from downtown and the waterfront up to The Battery.

Yes, I always loved to walk along the St.John's Harbor, or along Water or Duckworth Streets when I lived in Devon Row, down by the old Hotel Newfoundland. I live near Churchill Park now, so the fog is not as thick as when I lived downtown.

Very warm in Halifax as well. Went for a walk around the neighborhood and couldn't believe how nice it was at 9pm on a November evening!

-9° this morning with light winds and a high of -3° today.

8C with lots of early morning sunshine and light winds. Amazingly, there are still plenty of yellow leaves on the maple trees around my house.

We've fallen to -12°, wind chill at -18°. Much colder by Friday.

:eek::eek::eek::eek: Are these normal temps for mid-November???

Sunny and 10C. A fine day to work out in the garden finishing up Fall chores. Some leaves are still on the trees in my backyard, so I can't get to the final raking them up for compost and mulch just yet.

Overcast and about 2C this (early) morning. Rain (possibly mixed with some white stuff) and strong winds on the way later this morning and throughout the day.

Sunny and 11C right now at just past 1PM. That will most likely be our high for the day. It is supposed to cloud over tonight with a bit of rain tomorrow, but with temps going up to 12C. We shall see.

Now close to 1pm, and the wind and rain have arrived. At only a degree or two above freezing, it's a very chilly damp cold, to say the least!! But it's rain, and not the white stuff .. not sure that will remain the case tonight and/or overnight though?

A winter storm warning has just been issued for the Edmonton area with high winds and snow accumulations of 12 cm. Our very first blizzard of the year.

Bonne chance, mon ami.

Currently -12° with a wind chill factor of -22° and the big storm is just now beginning. A blizzard warning is in effect with heavy snowfall and high winds expected all day.

Again, bonne chance and drive carefully if you have to venture outside. Paix, mon ami.

7C with some light rain this afternoon here in St.John's. A bland day, but at least we don't have to shovel any snow.

Went to bed last night expecting to wake to flying snow shovels. Alas the chinook wind warning was a fake out. Instead I awoke to two inches of snow with more on the way. Oh well at least I don't have to chase the shovel.

For whatever reason, this year I somehow managed to get the snow tires on just before the first big snow storm. Usually have to slip and slide several miles to do that little chore.

Fog and 9C temps are settling in over us here in St.John's. All is very still and it is actually getting warmer, with the forecast of temps at about 12C. Very atypical for this time in November.

The weather guys were out to lunch with all their blustering about snowfall and winter storm warnings. We might have got 2 cm and the winds have died down. They get a failing grade on this forecast. Not even close.

Count your blessings, Sinc. There was a day in January about 7 years ago when Environment Canada forecast 5cm of snow for St.John's, with moderate winds. 30 hours later, 83cm of snow fell, blown about by 100+km/h winds. It shut down St.John's for nearly two days.

Environment Canada is famous for getting it wrong. Their record appears to be intact again today. ;)

Here as well. Today I shoveled at least 3 inches of partly cloudy.

Sadly, when EC is incorrect for their forecasts for St.John's, we usually suffer. Light rain turns into 4 inches in five hours, flurries turn into a true blizzard of 45cm or more, sunny skies turn into days of fog and mist.

Here as well. Today I shoveled at least 3 inches of partly cloudy.

What sort of shovel did you use???

We briefly got up to 11C about an hour or so ago, and then the wind shifted, so we are back to 9C. Still, the rain has stopped and the fog has lifted, so all in all, it is a pleasant evening.

-17° this morning with a wind chill value of -24° and overcast with a high of -16° which means we're going nowhere.

Currently 13C with a bit of rain in part of the sky and some sunshine in another part of the sky. Great conditions for the creation of a rainbow. We shall see if one develops.

Dark clouds rolled in, driven by strong winds out of the southwest, but it brought with it even warmer temps. It is currently 15C out on my back deck. Going to open up my windows to let some warm fresh air into the house.

No change in the past eight hours, still -17°.

-13°C this AM and dropping. Sorry MD that last shipment of Palm Trees froze before we could get them planted. Yep yet another colder than normal winter has been successfully launched.

The temps nearly hit 16C at noon, and have now dipped down to about 11C as the winds have shifted direction and have increased in intensity. Still, the last few dozen yellow maple leaves bravely cling to the tree in my backyard, not wanting to give up the fight that maybe Winter shall not be severe here in St.John's. We shall see.

Well, winter is here with a vengeance at -21° and a wind chill of -29° and expected to drop to -26° by dawn pushing wind chills into the minus thirties today,

Very sunny and 1C this morning here in St.John's. A start contrast to our 15C temps yesterday.

Been hovering around -20°C since late yesterday. Nice and sunny so we should make it up to a blistering -15°C.:eek:

Sunshine and 4C temps melted away the little snow we received overnight. May we not see the return of snow until the new year.

Cold.

Some rain might be moving in to our region, which means higher temps. We shall see. I am not willing to be the far on EC's forecasts these days.

A cool'ish -1C this morning, our first dip below the 0C mark. Bright and sunny since, and not much above 3C this afternoon, but with it being so sunny and dry, feels much milder. Lovely fall day - just came in from the balcony, after enjoying a glass of red in the sunshine!! :-)

Still cold. -21° with a wind chill of -27°.

Clear skies tonight, with loads of stars out upon which to marvel.

We are now forecast to hit -28° tonight without wind chill. Brrrrr. Too early for that.

My eyeballs hurt and my teeth ache at even the thought of those sorts of temps.

Another bone chilling day here this morning with a -33° windchill.

A nice 8C with partly sunny skies. Watching the last few dozen Fall leaves bravely cling to the trees.

Yet another vote for global cooling. Currently -18°C and not quite as sunny as forecast.

22093

10C at nearly 6PM. The winds are blustery, but actually balmy. Go figure.

30° colder here at -21°

30° colder here at -21°

:eek::eek::eek:

I was just sitting out on my back deck in a short sleeve shirt and no jacket as the winds have died down. Won't be able to do that much longer here in St.John's, I fear, as cooler temps are forecast. We shall see.

An amazing 11.5C at just past 8PM.

Still cold here.

Still cold here.

Still very mild here, with 12C temps, but very windy, with gusts well over 100km/h.

A nice sunrise this morning. It is currently 6C with a bit of wind. Most, if not all of the leaves are now down, ready to be raked up and mulched. So, all in all, a fine morning.

Current temperature of -24° with a high of -7° today.

About 4C this morning, light rain and winds at present, with much-heavier rain and strong Easterly winds expected.

Looks like a quick breakout from the deep freeze here in Southern Alberta. Currently -2°, up 20° from 24 hours ago. Should stumble into plus territory today.:)

A cool 4C but the sunshine and lack of wind makes this a nice afternoon to work outside in the garden ............ getting it ready for Old Man Winter.

About 7C this (mid) afternoon ... overcast, dry, and rather calm ... wind and rain warnings have been issued for this eve and overnight though!!

A chilly 1C this evening, which is the coldest we have experienced this Fall. Guess it's time to stoke up the woodstove and turn on the furnace. Such is Life in Canada.

-19° this morning with a wind chill of -25°. A bit of a reprieve by afternoon with a high of 4° today.

A beautiful sunshine about half hour ago now has come up to reveal sunny blue skies and -1C temps. A beautiful day here in St.John's.

Clear & sunny this morning in MTL, with an expected high of about 1.

Tonight and tomorrow - weather warning. 5 to 10 centimetres of snow in the forecast. Maybe some freezing rain thrown in. Uck.

We've jumped from -19° to -2° in the past three hours. It comes at a price though with very high winds expected to continue all day long.

-3° on the way to a high of 3° today under cloudy skies.

Sunny and 2C at lunchtime here in St.John's. A quiet day.

Here in SW AB, the Wind Warning has been extended another day. Which may explain why for the past 36 hours we have had a light steady rainfall and no wind at all.

With temps just above freezing and a thin layer of snow in place before the rain, the roads in town are quite dicey.

Woke up to about 25cm of wet snow. The winds are not strong, and it is 0C, so it is slow going but at least not drifting. Another 10+cm are forecast to fall this morning before it changes to ice pellets and then to sleet, before changing back to snow tonight. All in all, a typical St.John's snow storm. :(

-4° this morning and with a high today of -3°, little change all day long.

...

Highway 3 is still closed after a fatal accident near Sparwood Monday morning.


At about 9:50 a.m. eight kilometres east of Sparwood, an SUV lost control and veered into oncoming traffic. It collided with a semi and a pick-up truck before landing in Michel Creek.


Two people who were in the SUV died at the scene.


The highway has been closed for police investigation. It is expected to reopen at 4:30 p.m.
Temps still around freezing and roads still icy. Today the wind warning is gone and wind speeds have moved up just a notch, barely into the double digit range. Just light clouds. Once the sun is out should make for a much cheerier day.

Further East the wind warning was appropriate as several semis were blown off of Highway 2 near Nanton, AB

Got our 30cm of snow, but no ice pellets ........... just more snow. We are up to 35cm and it is still snowing. :( So much for wishing for a green Christmas this year.

Bit breezy here.

According to CBC St. John's meteorologist Ryan Snoddon the storm here in St.John's is record-breaker for this date.

"Snowfall to 9:30 a.m: St. Lawrence 27 centimetres; Winterland 31 centimetres; St. John's 25 centimetres ; Gander 1 centimetre," he tweeted.

Earlier in the day he tweeted the past records.

"Snowiest Nov. 24 so far: 23.9 cm in 1972. Snowiest November day: 25.3 cm on Nov 19, 1980."

It has stopped snowing now, with about 35cm in total. What a mess. :(

Bit breezy here.
... and dark, dismal, and wet!!

-1° here has us above our forecast high for the day. Quite pleasant, but cloudy.

0C with a light snowfall. We had a recorded 38cm of snow fall today ........... so with the few more that has fallen and will fall, we are safe to say that St.John's received 40cm of wet snow. Guess this guarantees a white Christmas. The last time we had this much snow on the ground this late in Nov. was the winter of 2000-01 .............. and from Nov. until May of that year we received 632cm of snow ........... which is just over 21 feet. Let us hope that this is NOT a repeat of that winter. We shall see.

0C with just a light overnight dusting of snow.

-12° and calm under cloud cover with a high of 1° today.

Broken sky, dry, and 5C this morning -- calm between storms!! Supposed to hit about 9C for the high. Back to another storm for Saturday - high winds and rain predicted.

Heavy clouds and light snow here in SW AB. May brighten up this PM or perhaps not.

0C with the sun trying to shine this afternoon. A quiet day after yesterday's snowstorm.

A foggy 3C this morning. Very quite outside.

-9° this morning with a light wind making it feel like -14° and a high today of 2°.

The fog has lifted and it is now cloudy and 6C. Little by little, some of the snow is melting, but there is so much down that it will not wash or melt away until at least May. Such is Life.

Not quite sure what the Wind Warning is about as we seem to be well within our normal 30-80 kph range. Otherwise looking for light clouds today and topping out in the low single digit range.

7C with a light rain falling to cut away at the snow from Thursday. Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain ............... for I'm dreaming of a green Christmas. We shall see.

A mild 5C at 8PM here in a quiet St.John's.

A beautiful evening, with 4C temps and clear skies. Orion is high in the sky in all his glory.

Currently a warm 7° and since that is our high for the day, we're there. Showers late in the afternoon.

Sunny and 3C. A quiet Sunday morning.

Nice warm morning here in SW AB. Wind Warning in effect, and it feels like the gusts are somewhere in the 80s or 90s, although the weather station says mid-70s. Station may be lying but who knows.

Nice to see low double digits back in the days forecast, but things may start to deteriorate tomorrow.

Was warm 13 yesterday - no riding :( but got the hot tub done :)
12 and very wet today. Windy too.
Going coldish rapidly after this.

After 9° and a hard downfall of rain yesterday, we've dropped to -3° to make driving fun this morning, with a high of 0° today.

A beautiful sunrise an hour or so ago, with sunshine now and a nippy -2C.

After 9° and a hard downfall of rain yesterday, we've dropped to -3° to make driving fun this morning, with a high of 0° today.

Did this wash away all of your snow? This is what we are hoping for in St.John's, but we most likely will not get enough rain and warm temps to wash all of our snow away until the new snowfall. :(

Dr. G., that simply does not happen here. The high temps and rainfall lasted only a few short hours and we have far too much snow. The ground remains covered with about a foot os snow in most places, now capped in ice.

Sorry to hear this. We got 41cm of snow on Thursday and Friday of last week, but about 10cm has melted away so far. We are hoping that rain and above freezing temps will wash more of it away this week. We shall see.

1C but cloudy right now as we approach noon.

Looks like a real mess in DT Calgary, although lots of damage from South of Lethbridge to about 20 miles North of Calgary.

Locally we were lucky that the warm temps continued overnight and the rain stopped. Otherwise we would be sitting in the ice boat with Don. As it is streets are dry and that is about all I dare ask at this time of year.

1° now and we may hit that 3° mark yet today. At least the winds have died down.

A balmy 6C with the forecasted rain no where to be found.

Heard the wind in the trees and the rain beating against the windows. Looked at my digital thermometer and it reads 9C. Hopefully, this will take more of last Thursday's snow. We shall see.

"I'm dreaming of a green Christmas, just like the one's I used to know in New York City ........." (I apologize to Irving Berlin for the change of words)

-2° this evening and we will level out at -4° in the city tonight, likely some three degrees warmer than the outlying areas.

Lots of green lawn might be seen if you look out of my window this morning. :clap:

Yesterday's warm temps of 9C and lots of rain has taken well over half of our snow away. More warm temps and rain on Wednesday may take the rest of it away. We shall see.

-5° this morning and we are headed up to 2° by mid afternoon, nice for late November.

Woke up to -10 degrees here in Zacatecas this morning. Some parts of the state recorded -19 :yikes:

Our pipes broke yesterday. Landlord's cheap-ass "plumber" "fixed" 'em. NOT. Once the city water supply came back on (it's not consant) we had another cascade coming off our roof. He's up there again now, pounding away on the pipes.... NOT HAPPY.

Did I mention that's -10 with no insulation, no central (or any) heating and windows as airtight as screen doors?

I gotta get out of Mexico, and go home to Canada where I'll be WARM. This is ridiculous....

Gee CM, I never would have imagined it got that cold in Mexico. I guess you will be wearing your serape today then? :D

Sorry to hear of your plight, CM. How are your son and wife managing, since I assume that they are not used to this sort of cold?

YIKES! That sort of thing does seem to happen whenever these Global Warming conferences get rolling, usually however the damage is limited to whatever continent they are meeting on. Seriously CM, -10°C with no insulation? I hope you have some Canadian style winter clothes on standby.

4C with a bit of sunshine at 2PM. A quiet day here in St.John's as our snow continues to melt away.

SINC: Not a sarape, per se, but I did waddle around the kitchen this morning wrapped up tight in a blanket. I had the water (bottled) in the moka pot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moka_pot) and the coffee grounds shovelled into the basket when I remembered - still no gas. That was disappointing....

Dr.G: Max is handling it fine - he's wrapped up in nice warm jammies sent by his grandma from Canada and we have a small electric heater/fan in the bedroom. If we close the heavy curtains, put a blanket at the base of the bedroom door, and try to keep the trips to the bathroom infrequent, that room manages to stay fairly toasty. My wife is not a fan of the cold - I don't know how she walks with her multiple layers of long johns... ;)

Well, under the circumstances, seems like you folks are surviving the cold. A lack of water is another issue. Good luck, mi amigo. I look throught the CAUT bulletin each month for university positions here in Canada for which you might qualify for with your extensive training/experience.

A nice crescent moon is in the clear skies over St.John's this evening. Very still and quiet.

A beautiful sunrise is forming in the east as I write this. The whole sky is shades of pink and orange. 5C and quiet this morning.

Amazing. Last Thursday and Friday we received 42cm of wet snow. Today, due to all the sun, rain and mild temps we have received, there is only enough snow on my property to make one snowperson.

This weather thread just received it's 1,000,000th viewer overnight. Guess Canadian weather is a topic of interest to many. Kudos to us all.

-1° with snow and temperatures steadily decking to -3° by afternoon and -11° this evening.

Just starting to snow. Temps around freezing and predicted to continue falling. One minor blessing for SW-AB, no rain during the cool-down so hopefully the roads will not be too icy.

Some good news. EC has pushed the Chicken Little Crowd overboard and changed their regional forecast. They are now predicting that this winter will be worse than last year. Given their record, that means there is at least a chance for a "normal" winter. 'Course it could also be the start of the next ice age. We should have a better idea come next June.:)

:( That sort of snow must be wet, eMacMan. Drive carefully.

Not enough to tell as yet. Really depends on what the temps are somewhat above ground level.

I will probably be out either walking or shoveling but try not to drive while the snow is flying. I like to leave that sort of entertainment to the youngsters. Always fun to watch them pull away from the stop signs. For whatever reason those overpowered pick-ups seem to fish tail about 80% of the time. Guess no one ever taught the youngsters to keep their foot off the gas until the vehicle is up to about 15 km/hr. Either that or they were just too "smart" to listen.

Consider yourself lucky. There is snow today in Toronto!!!! The Canadian Armed Forces are being mobilized once again.

Snow In Toronto!! - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCS06rbL5hI)

-3° as we near the noon hour and continue our slide to -9° by this evening.

9C and the sun has just broken through the clouds. Nice blue skies at long last.

About 6C (likely a touch milder here at our location), as we approach noon -- beautiful late-fall day - sunny, bright blue sky, and no wind to speak of - nice contrast to the clouds and wet so "normal" at this time of year!!

Down a bit to 8C, but it is forecast to go up to 12C by midnight ........... and up to 13C by noon tomorrow. We shall see .............. because if this does happen, then it shall take all of our snow away. Getting my Christmas wish from Santa early. Now, if Hanukkah Harry could just bring the same gift I got last year ........... no snow on the ground until after New Year's Day ............. that would be great. We shall see.

The sun came out and we went way up to -2° from -3°. Whoopee!

Well, at least it stopped snowing.

-8° this morning and we're on the way to a nice afternoon with a high of 6° today.

An amazing 14C this morning. It's cloudy, but there is enough of a break in the clouds to help with a beautiful sunrise happening right now.

All of our 42cm of snow from last Thursday and Friday is now gone. GOOD!!! :clap:

6 degrees in Belfountain - nice riding day.

will see them all at the new location in Erin about 5 minutes away. :clap:

14C with a light drizzle. 42cm of snow is now officially gone from St.John's. Praise Mother Nature.

Just 1° under heavy, dark cloud and with a high humidity makes it feel much colder. We will not see our predicted high of 6° today. No way.

High humidity here as well, with 98% RH readings and rain outside. Still, at 13C, it feels balmy for Dec.1st.

LOL! High humidity here is 68%.

That is low humidity for us. Guess it's all relative. I know that when TO was under a "heavy snowfall watch ... 10-15cm" I thought to myself "That is considered flurries here in St.John's." C'est la vie. Paix, mon ami.

Indeed, relative humidity. beejacon

True.

Of course, when EC predicts one thing and we get something totally different, in a negative sense, that is as much "gotcha" as I want to see ......... or experience. Paix, mon ami.

2° this morning with winds howling out of the northwest at 50 kph, gusting to 90 kph. The roof vents are singing as they spin frantically. A wind warning is in effect for our area all day long.

4C with a very light rain. A quiet morning.

Our temps have dropped to 3C now at noon ............ a far cry from yesterday's 15C.

0° now as the 90 kph wind gusts continue to hamper firefighter's efforts to subdue a huge bush fire on the outskirts of western Edmonton on the Enoch reserve.

A cool 2C. Yesterday at this time we were at 13C.

The skies cleared and the sun appeared only to see an immediate fall to -5° under clear skies. The good news is, it will stop at -10° overnight.

Still a cool 2C with the chance of going down to 0C overnight. We shall see.

Up to 2C after an overnight low of -1C. These temps are normal for us in early December.

-4° with a wind chill of -10 and dropping to -11 by late afternoon. The wind warning has been lifted, but is expected to be reinstated for high winds again this evening.

The clouds have given way to let the sunshine shine through their cover, with temps "soaring" to 3C. All in all, a nice day.

So far sunny and calm. Gradually working our way up from -14°C, currently -8°C but we may get into neutral territory for a few seconds before it starts getting colder and the wind and snow settles in.

The clouds are back and so are our chilly 2C temps.

Was just out and cleared the walks. No sooner did I get my coat off when the snow began again. Dang it!

:( I know that feeling. Then, just as you clear the driveway and walks for the second time, the plows come down your street. Bonne chance, mon ami.

0C as we approach 9PM. It is a damp cold the really chills one to the core.

Thanks to our towns new super educated engineer, the one who calls the plowing shots, I can guarantee this will not happen here on any weekend.

He has declared that snow falling between 2-pm Friday and 7-am Monday is in violation of municipal bylaws and therefore will not be ploughed until local drivers have compressed it into a sheet of ice. Towards the end of last winter some of our side streets had a 6 inch thick layer of ice on them. Made for interesting driving once things started to thaw.

That happens in certain places in the less traveled upon cul de sacs. Usually the plows do their trick on our cul de sac, leaving a mound of snow about 4 feet high an about 6 feet wide at the base in front of my driveway. Before I got a snowblower, that would take me 3-5 hours of constant shoveling to clear. With a snowblower, it takes about 20 minutes.

A nice surise about 30 minutes ago has given way to sunshine and mostly blue skies, but a chilly -2C.

-9° with a wind chill of -15° and with a high of -7° today, little room for improvement.

Bit of snow overnight here in SW AB. Looks fairly fluffy but it is still coming.
