We had a pretty good February where in the whole month we saw nothing more than 7 cm of snow but we saw over 45 mm of rain which is rare. It's very cold here! That warm up on Friday went from 7'C to -17'C on Saturday Morning and all the water is hard as rock. Next Friday to Monday with a range of 3 ...

Even though the BC coast had all that snow, I would still like to live there :D Don't worry because we got hit by 3 storms in a row that all of them dropped 10-15 cm of snow and now we have 48 cm in our yard. Your snow will not last long. Our coldest temperatures were -19C so around a 6b-7a. Right ...

We had a thunderstorm on May 31 which produced grape to golf ball sized hail at my house and baseball sized north of us. My car window was damaged. We had storm last night that produced 100
kmh winds.

I heard that the high pressure will stay in your area for some time and it could break down when it gets to our area :( so our forecast is nasty and cold with overnight frost. 30C and 40C does not feel bad in the arid and desert areas but the sun is strong. When we had 40C before (rare) it was ...

30 to 50+ cm that the west got made me think back in March 2008 when we had close to 100 cm of snow in 2 days during a MASSIVE blizzard!!! The snow is history now since 6 days of 20 to 27C weather that got a hold of it. We had our problems because of flooding and using sandbags to stop it coming to ...

yuccaman

That cold! I remember -6C and it damaged many growth in plants and trees. I hope your cold days goes away so everyone is happy. I put some pumpkins seeds in the ground and have my fingers crossed. About the cold coming our way, the same system bringing the snow will give us an outbreak of severe ...

yuccaman

Right now its 26C and yesterday was 23C and other day was 20C.

I was thinking because it's warm I thought I could plant some seeds. Hope it's not too early.

yuccaman

We hit 7C! Record!!! No, Just joking. I want to live in your areas to have the warmth

Today here was cold and windy. Looks like that thermometer reached a
nice 26C. Lytton I heard reached around that. We are warming also but it's 16C to 20C but not bad for planting weather.

In mid March I got a Panasonic HDC-SD1 camcorder that records HD video to SD cards. Does anyone have a HD cam? Mine records in 1440 x 1080i.

I heard Calgary is going up to 20C on the weekend but 19C for Saturday. Regina could go close to 30C. The weather here is a little sad since it's 3C and cold rain but thunderstorms possible tonight with a high of 5C and isolated severe possible!!! Edmonton should go to 20C also and 21C for us next ...

yuccaman

I heard you got some snow recently around 5 to 10 cm. I remember to this day we had an 2 inches of snow due to lake affect and this year today it's 15C and rising!!! and the snow was last year and this year its trying for 20C. The Trent river has gone down a bit but some creeks are still flooded ...

yuccaman

There is two creeks that are starting to flood now and it will only get worse. The whole forecast is seasonal or above for April and rain is coming.
I hope this does not get bad and as for the Trent river still has an ice jam and its melting rapidly. I will post photos soon.

yuccaman

Barrie, I heard your temperatures are warming a lot in the long range and even now with coming highs around 12C to 15C. We have the same forecast with highs like 10C 11C 12C 13C coming up and should melt all of the remaining snow but the Trent river that's almost beside us could flood badly. All ...

yuccaman

When we get snow here it seems to stick on the ground at 3C above 0C. We can now plant because the all of the garden beds have no snow at all but my yard still has 25C of snow and another part has 5 cm because of wind so you are right Palmettoman! we can start to plant things like bulbs. Snow is ...

yuccaman

Today I went outside and after a cold and snow March we have tulip sprouts that are 3 inches high. Trees are amazingly starting to bud and other sprouts as well no snow in the forecast at all. On Sunday night to Tuesday evening we are getting very VERY heavy flooding rains with thunderstorms and 15C ...

yuccaman

I heard that you all got snow in the west and we had 6 cm last week from a Alberta Clipper. I am back and feeling a lot better! we lost 40 cm of snow so far but there is patches of grass with snow. The snow you all got was convective bursts of snow because the upper level cold air from Coastal BC ...

yuccaman

You are lucky that you moved to a warmer spot. I need to go right back to Florida and start growing palms. Anyway, I won't be back on this site until, the snow melts away. It's 6C out right now slowly eating away some snow. Ok, It sounds stupid but when it's all done I will have Spring photos ready ...

yuccaman

You are right Barrie, I got to get out of there for good and go back to Florida where I belong. Little bit of warmth coming around 4C to 6C but that will do much for a melt with 3 ft of snow. It's so bad that they have dump trucks being loaded with snow and we could be in a state of emergency for ...

yuccaman

Yeah, We really do got to get away from this snow. Flight delays won us over and there is no more time for a trip.

This was all after a blizzard.

yuccaman

Here they are

yuccaman

Thanks Lucky1 hope it does end but it could take 4 weeks when everything is gone.

I will have pictures if the uploading thing works because it did not work last time. I have 98 cm snow in my
yard and we now have 15 ft high plowed parking lots. 8 ft drifts in my yard due to 70 km/h wind gusts.

yuccaman

The parking lots are 10 ft and little higher and my yard has 5 to 6 ft snow plowed areas by me. We have 60 cm on the ground and we had freezing rain and ice pellets mixed in as well. The 60 cm should be gone in mid-late April unless we get a summer like heat wave but will cause flooding anyway ...

yuccaman

I am in Ontario around the northeastern shore of Lake Ontario and we are in the area that will get the most snow 30 to 40. It was 30-60 but changed somewhat. Got my meter stick and my yard is at 63 cm and is getting higher and nearing the top the stick. I can't believe my grandfather loves this ...

yuccaman

Not much freezing rain but the ice pellets accumulated to 8 cm. Were are getting 30 to 60 cm of snow for Saturday and we have 30 cm in our yard and we should have 90 cm in our yard and more storms might make it up to 100 cm. The whole forecast is cold but little sunny but more snow will follow ...

yuccaman

I will see about coming out to BC but we might be planning a trip to Alberta. I would like to drop and help you.

We had a good mild spell of 10C at CFB Trenton and 14C in our yard. But we are getting a huge winter storm with a lot
of freezing rain and 8-10 hours of it.

yuccaman

The cold is back and more snow for Friday with 5-10 cm. For next week we might have 7C with some heavy rain possible but it's going to cool down to -1C because of a possible cold front. Hope we don't get -30C or will harm my zone 5B only peach trees. Nice photo and tree Barrie. Just bathing in the ...

yuccaman

We had seen 70% more snow than the norm. Today we picked up 2 cm of snow but they were calling for 5 to even 30 cm. The long range is not good also since we might get 5-10 cm more and will break the record that was in the 1930's. March looks really bad with snow and cold. The highest is only 3C and ...

yuccaman

It looks like the weather is really going well for you and hope it lasts long. For us we still have 2 feet with 1 and 2 meter wind snow drifts and my roof had a meter of snow on it. The snowplowed areas are 5 meters high. Its going to take a lot of time when we see grass again. I looked at the long ...

yuccaman

We are getting a storm system for Sunday and Monday. We might get freezing rain then changing to rain with 7C.
Hopefully March will change with spring like weather. We have 2 feet of snow right now.

As far west as Alberta to coast of BC are getting spring like conditions with temperatures up to 15C.

yuccaman

We did not really escape it but we did have a load of ice pellets. There is some warm temperatures on the way with rain.

yuccaman

We are getting freezing rain and ice pellets right now but we already 8-10 cm fell. The wind is an issue and for next week we are getting rain with temperatures 6°C Tuesday and Wednesday 9°C with more strong winds close to 100 km/h. Our winter ends around mid march but not always. In March we get b ...

yuccaman

We could see up to 15-40 cm of snow. They said if it moves father north without the warm front, We could see up to 60-70.

Anyone else bracing for this storm?

yuccaman

That's right Palmettoman! if I need to plant some palms, I will just head a few kilometers south my house at the shore of Lake Ontario and overwinter!!!

But the storms will pound it and right now we are seeing winds up to 107 km/h gusts and sustained at 72 km/h.

yuccaman

The map I looked at was from Natural Resources Canada and I have seen that map you just linked. That map looks more accurate and that is the one I would use it because of the hills and exposed out. I remember around mid-late january places like Bancroft had -30C and we were only -14C but head as far ...

yuccaman

I am in Trenton just west of Kingston and so far its been a zone 6b winter and not bad since we are in a 5b. Somehow the zone maps placed our place in Trenton 5a and the rest of Trenton is 5b. We are in a small vallely and north of my house is the rolling murray hills and get as cold as -30C 5 miles ...

yuccaman

In our area people have tried growing palms but things went wrong because we see way too many storm systems in our area. This year its been nothing but trouble and we had loads of freezing rain, snow close to 50 cm, ice pellets were also a problem. Lake effect is a huge problem and we get snowfall ...

yuccaman

It went as low as -21C and now we are having a zone 6B winter. After that,We had broke records of 15C during the January thaw. All the snow was melted but not really the snow banks and now its cold and we have 8 cm on the ground. Just to let you know that we are getting a shot of arctic air coming ...

yuccaman

January is not really a bad month for us but it is February that offers the extreme cold and winter storms and last year were had a dangerous -26C which had a
impact on few small trees. Our warmest winter was a zone 8a (on record) and a few people had left Trachys out and did kind of well.

yuccaman

Thank you! the mild forecast looks very good and it lasts long and so far we been having at least a zone 7a winter

yuccaman

It looks like I been paying attention on your long range forecast with a few warmer days heading your way. I noticed that your temperatures were below average with some bit snow and frosts. Its a pain for me too because all we seen this winter so far was very little sun with a lot of storms and this ...
