Temperature is going to drop soon

As of 12:50PM Pembroke is down to -1C, Bancroft is down to -2C.   We should see our temperatures dropped soon.   There are some heavy bands of snow associated with the front so we may see some white on the ground this afternoon.

Cool video of the 2011 Atlantic Tropical storm season

Time lapse video from Satellite images.   I found it especially interesting to see how the jet stream can just destroy an established tropical storm.

Working out pretty good

Last week Wednesday I posted "The 29/30th may be messy".   I'd say that's working out pretty well.

Don't be fooled...and coming snow

By our warmth:  the northern hemispheric snow cover is above normal, Russia has it all. :) :



I think our best chance to get a dose of snow will be next Monday as system develops along a front boundery.   If enough cold air can be in place, then we could have a dump.

Changes blowing in the wind

Long range models are indicating that a pattern change/shift is coming where the mean trough position will be more towards the central/eastern portion of the continent rather than the west.   This means more "seasonable" temperatures and thereby snow opportunities for a while.  

Look for this to happen in early December.

It's all going to melt

Unfortunately this isn't the snow that will stick around for the rest of the season.  It'll melt over the next few days.  The models are all over the place for early next week with cutoff lows and slowing cold fronts, rain and snow.  The 29/30th may be messy.

Climategate 2.0

Two years ago, on the eve of the Copenhagen climate conference, unknown person(s) released thousands of documents revealing the machinations of the warmist climate scientists.   It was dubbed Climategate.

The next climate conference is happening shortly in Durban and it's happened again.   Anothe cache of revealing emails and other documents from the warmists have been released.    Details here:

Wednesday..

Could be interesting.   First off, Env. Can is calling for periods of snow.   I initially discounted it last week.    The GFS model is still keeping the precip south of us...but its regional counterpart model, the NAM, is having Ottawa catching the northern edge of the precipitation band as is the European model, the ECMWF as well as having it cold enough to snow.

So now I'm in a bit of a waffle situation...but I'm leaning towards Ottawa getting a few centimeters of snow on Wednesday.

Env. Can. backtrack

Their current forecast for Monday:   Sunny. High minus 1.
