Special weather statement in effect for:
  • Halifax Metro and Halifax County West
Winter weather conditions expected this weekend across the Maritimes.

A low pressure system will approach the Maritimes from the southwest on Saturday and track across Nova Scotia Saturday night to lie over the Gulf of St. Lawrence by midday Sunday.

Precipitation associated with the system will begin as rain along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia Saturday morning while interior regions of the province will see a mixture of snow and rain beginning near noon before changing over to rain at times heavy Saturday night.

Northern areas of the province could see as much as 5 to 10 cm of snow before the change over to rain Saturday night. In total 20 to 40 mm of rain is expected across the province by midday Sunday with the highest amounts likely for areas along the Atlantic coast.

Additionally, higher than normal water levels and rough surf are expected at the high tide Saturday night along the Atlantic coast.
Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.weatheraspc.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports using #NSStorm.
So just rain for Halifax area... probably. Who knows for those of us slightly (or MORE than slightly) inland?

Learn how to use your camera better! GIGO and all that.

I didn't take the picture. Her roommate did. I mean, really, given that she's less than half my age, I'm not allowed to talk to her outside of work >_<
 
Hey, it's 40° here, too. Except, you know, the other direction of zero.

(but, in Fahrenheit. If that was Celsius something'd be wrong too :p)

(oddly, -40° is the one temperature that's the same in both °F and °C.)

Yeah, it's not -40 here but it IS going to be anywhere from -6 to -10 in the morning not counting wind chill. Thinking of just working from home because, you know, I can do that.
 
It's going down to -36C/-46C with the wind (-33F/-55F). It's been like this since before Christmas. I haven't slept in my own bed for 3 days. Damn you, doomweasels!
