Roger Smith Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 Any mention on your local news of the emergency situation in eastern Nova Scotia and PEI? People are snowed in by that slow-moving storm last week, with 30-40 inches on the ground. Could be an opportunity for anyone with a plow on their pickup to contract some work as local crews are overwhelmed trying to keep major routes open. Last few days at Sydney, NS (converted to F and in): Date ___ max __ min _____ snow ___ snow depth Feb 2 ___ 32 ___ 28 _____ 3.9 _______ 5" Feb 3 ___ 31 ___ 29 _____ 16.1 _______11" Feb 4 ___ 33 ___ 28 _____14.0 _______28" Feb 5 ___ 33 ___ 32 _____ 4.4 _______41" Feb 6 ___ 33 ___ 29 _____ 0.6 _______42" winds have been N-NNE 25-35 mph so not severely drifted just a level or undulating 3-4 feet. It's an area used to snow and probably 2' cover is not unusual but 3-4 feet is trapping people in their residences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking our first big shot was Feb 16-18 range but there’s definitely another window there after 2/20. I like seeing the block north of AK too because it keeps the source region pretty cold. That helps in avoiding a totally rotted airmass with the -NAO. We had that problem in late Feb/early Mar 2010. Expand You don't say...can't recall.....
