Scary weather tomorrow

Rainy and windy...

Potential of snow smattering again sunday afternoon..

A little surprise this morning

Huh.   That skiff of snow surprised this morning even me.

Update...nice english on me, eh?

Env. Can. comes around to the other models...again.

Note the predicted low temps for Tuesday morning:  -8C

Trick'r'treat-ing still looking damp.

The next bit

Saturday:  still not a nice day
Monday:  weak cold front coming through bring showers/flurries..
Tuesday:  cold day, not getting much above zero.  Definitely colder than Env. Can. calling for currently (7 and 1 for high and low temps)
Beyond Tuesday, significant divergance in the modeling.  GFS keeps the jet suppressed so we have a ugly Halloween.  The Euro on the other hand has a relatively nice day next Thursday...so who knows...

Lake Effect snow...

This cold out break is having effect...

Snicker...

Quick post

Ottawa A/P got to 0C this morning.   Bancroft had a low of -3, Petawawa -2.

Hard frost the next couple of mornings. 
Saturday afternoon/evening will be gross, ie cold and damp.
Coldest period next week will be Tuesday night/Wednesday morning with a "hard" freeze, ie negative mid single digits.
Looking hopeful for the trick'o'treat-ers with a possible window of milder air before some precip.

Latest Env Can. forecast.

Forecast morning lows on Thursday and Friday:  -2C

just sayin'

Is it going to freeze this week?

The current Env. Can forecast for Ottawa has no temperatures below 0 C, with morning lows hitting zero Wednesday and Saturday.

On other hand, both the GFS and European model have morning low temperatures below zero Thursday through Saturday mornings, and maybe as soon as Wednesday.

How much faith do I have in Env. Can. temperature forecast?   Cover the plants you don't want to freeze.   Just sayin'.


PS.  TWN has Saturday morning @ -2.   That a bit better.

Last half of October

Blegch!!

It will not be pretty.. Think a typical Fraser Valley winter, hovering around the freezing mark, daytime highs a few degrees above, night-time lows a few degrees below,  possible rain/sleet and snow showers...

This pictures tells a few words..
