Halifax yesterday from the ChronicleHerald.caAll the nonsense of December is past and now to focus this blog back to where is belongs, the weather. I am watching a busy week ahead with several systems poised to bring us some accumulating snow. It will remain cold throughout the period as January settles in. As a matter of fact the entire country is quite stormy and cold this weekend. None more so than Atlantic Canada where a blizzard brought cold, wind and nearly 30cm of snow to Halifax. More snow fell in northern and western parts of the province. Air travel was halted and nearly 10,000 people were left without power.
Our weather thankfully was calm yesterday after a windy and snowy week. the wind was incredible, and there is evidence of it all over Eastern Ontario. Signs and trees are down and have yet to be collected. One stretch of the 416 has three exit signs broken in a row.
The weather today is cloudy and chilly with light snow moving across the 401 corridor into Quebec. Expect less than 5cm in most places with perhaps a little more along the Great Lakes. The weekend looks fairly decent but cold with just scattered snow flurries. The next major system will arrive mid-week from the US southwest and could be significant. More on that later this weekend.
