The Weather Outside is Frightful...

Latest update from Environment Canada..

Heavy snowfall warning for
Saint John and county continued

This is a warning that heavy snow is expected in these regions.
Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.


An intense low pressure centre south of Nova Scotia this morning will pass to the east of Cape Breton Island this evening and move into Newfoundland tonight. The storm will give snowfall amounts between 20 and 30 centimetres. Very strong northerly winds will give whiteout conditions. The highest amounts of snow and the strongest winds is expected from the Acadian Peninsula to the Moncton area. The strong winds combined with cold temperatures will give wind chill of minus 35 to northern New Brunswick.

Coastal flooding due to a storm surge of 1 to 1.5 metres is expected this evening along the northeast shore of New Brunswick. The surge is the result of a high tide along with strong northerly winds driving rough surf over the coastal section of these regions.


Looks like Winter is here. As I look out my window, the snow is blowing horizontally, and winds are gusting to 93km/h (over 50 mph). Oh, and the wind chill is about -30C. That's about -15F. Brr.

Let's see, trip to Arizona planned in April... that's 3 months... I don't know if I can make it.....
