Roger Smith Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 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...

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 10 hours ago, ORH_wxman said: Yeah agreed. 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. You don't say...can't recall.....

My site was 7.4" AN for that period and the co-op in town was nearly +9". The Oct-Jan average is 40-45" and that map would indicate only 15-20" rather than what's in my sig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 16 hours ago, powderfreak said: +9.4 for the first week of February. What a torch. Max of 37F this past week, min of 7F. Big departures, no where near as cold as usual. The obscene departures continue. Almost the same as here. +9.0, max 37 (yesterday), min 8 (twice, including yesterday). Jan 23 thru Feb 7 is +9.4 (max +5.7, min +13.2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
