I just love this photo. It is taken yesterday on Ocean Blvd in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, a place I have been to so often as have many from Montreal. I have never seen it like this. The photo is from the Accu-Weather Facebook Fan Page. The beach by the way is on the left!Well just about 3 flakes fell on Montreal yesterday, officially a trace at the airport with perhaps a little more south of the city. Lots of moisture on radar but it just was not making it down to the surface as the dynamics were just not present here. It was a different story to our south where New England had 1 to 3 feet of snow including 36 inches at Wilmington, Vermont (90cm). Compare that to our monthly snowfall so far of 7.4cm in Montreal. As long as the storm track remains where it is, Montreal will remain just on the edge of these east coast systems. In Ontario as the first storm was passing south of the lakes, about 24cm fell in St Catherines, with 11cm in Toronto and 6cm in Brockville. Today the coastal storm is affecting the eastern Gaspe with an onshore flow and about 20cm of snow and Newfoundland's Avalon where 25cm is forecast.
A few flurries are kicking around the city and region this morning with mostly cloudy skies. it will remain partly cloudy today and Friday with highs around -6C and lows around -10C. A little light snow is forecast on Saturday from weak low pressure passing across our area. The next storm threat for the region will be next Wednesday with another strong coastal low possible. There are some indications this one may be a little closer to Montreal - time will tell.
