Ok not such a perfect weekend

Above: Lots of blowing snow yesterday along Highway 15 and the south shore.
Below: The big cleanup continues on the West Island from Wednesday's 25cm.

The cold air has refused to budge here in the St. Lawrence Valley. On this Super Sunday we are still at -15C in Montreal with gusty northeast winds (it is 14C in Tampa with a high of 21C for the Super Bowl). Yesterday was sunny but windy and cold with lots of blowing snow around. The temperature fell most of the day and bottomed out close to -20C. We have also had a couple of centimetres of snow for good measure. It should warm up slightly this week and the threat for that big snowstorm on Tuesday has passed well east of us. It should remain dry in Montreal and Kemptville.

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day, yes we made it through another January. I will wrap of the month tomorrow, I am still digesting the stats for the month, but suffice to say it was cold and snowy. You can use the link at the upper left to watch Phil's predictions.
