The UTVIKEN from Nassau in the Bahamas rolls past Montreal in the icy seaway. This is one of the last ships in the system. The Seaway will close on Boxing dayMerry Christmas everyone...all the best to all my readers. Peace and happiness today and all year, lets be good to each other.
Boy did Santa have a wicked time last night. The wind was incredible, we are on the 8th floor in Montreal, and it sounded like a train outside our window all night. After about 20cm of snow, the temperature shot up to 7C in Montreal and 6C in Kemptville with rain Christmas Eve. Lots of water around. As the cold front moved east into our area it was accompanied by 100km/h winds in Massena and Cornwall and 80km/h winds in Montreal. The peak gust in Kemptville was only 33km/h in the sheltered Rideau Valley. The winds toppled trees and power was out in many parts of upstate New York. The wind gusted to 112MPH, yes mph on Mount Washington in New Hampshire. I am sure Santa had a fun time controlling the sled. Winds are easing today in sunshine and dropping temperatures with just a few flurries scattered about.
Boxing Day will be quiet and then we turn our attention to the next storm which will move into our area Saturday with heavy rain, over 30mm and warm temperatures. The risk of flooding will be possible. Make sure you free up drainage spouts, sewers and your rooftops of snow and ice before the heavy rain moves in.
Be safe today...all the best.
