well, vancouver was covered in snow earlier, but like normal, it melted by mid-afternoon..

:previous:SFU on Burnaby Mountain got buried last night with about 10 cm, most of it still there as of this afternoon.

South Van and Richmond are green as usual.

Time to start the snow list Nikko?

I've given up on the snow list because the Prairies doesn't have snow data.

[PrairieGirl]

Here's the discussion on prairie snowfall data (has to do with those light :haha: winds the prairies are prone to get):
="http://www.producer.com/Weather/Article.aspx?aid=31898"]http://www.producer.com/Weather/Article.aspx?aid=31898

"“There is a whole lot of reasons why measuring snow is very difficult and a very inaccurate science,” said Trevor Hadwen, agroclimate specialist with Agriculture Canada.

He receives his information from one of Environment Canada’s automated snow gauges located at the Regina airport.

Those gauges work well when there is a heavy snowfall or rain with no wind, but they tend to miss a lot of precipitation when the wind is howling, blowing the snow sideways."

[freeweed]

I've given up on the snow list because the Prairies doesn't have snow data.

Not much data necessary other than "November through March".

[le calmar]

Anyway after the first snowfalls I guess people don't care.

[Nicko999]

What a beautiful day (another one):)

Went up to 13C with a mainly cloudy sky. Started to clear later in the day but it also started to cool down. The cold Prairies air is expected to visit us (moderated of course).:(

Coldest temperature so far recorded in Montreal was -3.9C. That's expected to change tonight.

The Canadian warmspot was Vineland, Ontario at 15.9C

[entheosfog]

Snowfall warning issued for Metro Vancouver...it's not even December yet!

[PrairieGirl]

high today -1 :banana:

[Joshy]

:previous:

It's warming up nicely across the Prairies, considering the record cold that was here this weekend. For instance, Edmonton set a new record low over the weekend when the temperature fell to -36.1C without windchill. And this week, temps will be up in the mid to single high digets across the Prairies. A sign that we are still in fall, a transitional time of year.

[Metro-One]

Snowfall warning issued for Metro Vancouver...it's not even December yet!

Luckily we dodged that bullet, no snow fell anywhere I was this morning, warmed up faster than they thought I think. Now just rain for the next 7 days! haha.

[Nicko999]

The arctic air has arrived... officially -6.6C this morning which is the coldest temperature we've recorded so far.

Only went up to -1C today under sunny conditions but at least we had no wind...

The Canadian warmspot was Sable Island, Nova Scotia at 10.6C.

[PrairieGirl]

+4 :ohyeah:ohyeah:ohyeah:ohyeah:

[freeweed]

+10 in Calgary and it ain't even noon yet. If the damnable clouds would go away I bet we'd hit +15 easily.

[Calgarian]

Yeah the 10 degree temperatures are nice, the 100km/h wind gusts, not so much. It was so windy I had to lean forward to walk!

[Joshy]

2C in Winnipeg, with highs of 7 and 8C tomorrow and Thursday, and periods of rain on Friday.

Fall hasn't left us yet1

[freeweed]

Yeah the 10 degree temperatures are nice, the 100km/h wind gusts, not so much. It was so windy I had to lean forward to walk!

It's so weird with the wind today. Downtown (at least my particular corner of it) is usually one of the windier parts of the city thanks to the wind tunnel effect, but today I'd swear the winds are 10-15km/h max. The reports I'm hearing are far from that however.

I was outside downtown and they were definitely faster than 10-15km/h, hence having to lean into the wind to walk. The gust I was in was probably 70km/h easy. I don't know if the 100km/h gusts actually hit Calgary or not, the SW corner of the province was recording some even higher than that though.

[freeweed]

Still strange, I barely noticed much wind on the walk to the train today, and it isn't windy at all up in the NW. Oh well, maybe I missed the gusting earlier today.

Here's why chinooks rule (hint: the southern part of Alberta was entirely white this morning):

Brutal this morning...it went down to -8C.:yuck:

Not much better during the day as well as it only went up to 1C. At least it was sunny until 1PM!

Depends where you are though. I was working up north of Stoney in Sherwood and the wind was bloody strong up there. But then again, it's always windy up there in the valley. You get out into the bald prairie (e.g. Airdrie) and the wind dies down a bit.

[Dwils01]

It's currently 3:00am and Hamilton is getting a little snowstorm. :yuck:
At least I don't have class tomorrow so I can stay home.

[youngregina]

currently 3 and going up to 8 today :) super excited to not have to wear a winter jacket near the end of november!!

[PrairieGirl]

Normally my location comes in a little warmer (up to 5 degrees C :tup:) than our near neighbour Regina but today we are looking at the same temps.

Currently 5°C
High expected 8°C

Still doing cartwheels here! :banana:

[flar]

It's winter all of a sudden here in Ottawa. The snow won't last too long though as mild temps return on Friday.

[freeweed]

Calgary's at +11 and might still be climbing.

Of course now that the west is warmed up, Ottawa and Montreal (more?) are getting hit with the first real blast of winter.

[Denscity]

Heavy rainfall warning: 30-50mm of rain and +10C!

[Joshy]

Currently +7C and sunny in Peg City.

It's snowing and -2 about 15 cm on the ground atm....that's just a guess tho

We did record -8.3C last morning before the snow. That's the coldest temperature we've experienced since March.

-1C (wind chill of -6C) and snowing today.:(

The Canadian warmspot was Medicine Hat, Alberta at 16.7C.

Supposed to get up to +9 in the Peg today, hopefully what little snow we have left will soon disappear.

[Joshy]

Got up to 10C in Winnipeg, breaking a record from more than 100 years ago, and no more snow on the ground :).................for now.

[Nicko999]

3C and cloudy today! The snow we got yesterday is slowly melting. It should be all gone tommorow. Hopefully it will green up the grass because we haven't had a lot of rain this month.

The Canadian warmspot was Thunder Bay, Ontario at 13.2C.

[Nicko999]

I wish we could break some records...

Mid-November to mid-December is were Southern Ontario/Southern Quebec have the highest records compared to the country ...

We need 19-18C to break a record in late November. Damn, that would be a temperature I'll take right now.:P

BTW-Temperature up to 5C in the middle of the night.

[Nicko999]

The snow was gone this morning... lasted about 24 hours.:tup:

The low was 4C this morning...

It went up to 10C with some sunshine peaking through the clouds.:)

The Canadian warmspot was Collingwood, Ontario at 17.3C. Toronto broke a new record today at 16.3C.:yes:

[MolsonExport]

It is sunny and 12 Celcius in London. Nice for end of November.

[MonctonRad]

Up to 10 degrees today in Moncton with warm sunshine. Almost all the snow that fell the other day has melted.

[PoscStudent]

6 degrees and some lite rain today melted much of Thursday's snowfall!

[Nicko999]

It went up to 9C today after a low of 7C this morning.:tup: Very nice and mild out there.:)

The Canadian warmspot was Windsor, Ontario at 15.7C.;)

A huge windstorm in Calgary with gusts to 130 k/ph. Downtown has been closed to all traffic because of breaking windows showering glass on the streets. Trees are blocking streets, roofs are coming off.
There is a blue spruce about 7 storeys tall whose root ball has come loose of the ground and might hit my apartment building when it falls. It is so weird to see the ground heaving up and down as the roots tear loose.

[cranium]

Just got back to Calgary from Lethbridge and it was really blowing hard. A few semi's and camper trailers flipped. One poor sod huddled in the ditch beside his motorcycle, crosswind must have been too strong for him. +13 though.

[Surrealplaces]

Nice having a high of +14C but.......Windstorm in Calgary does some damage.

Reached a high of +9 in Edmonton today...and it has started raining now. On Nov 27!

[PrairieGirl]

9 C and gorgeous!

(no rain or high winds here).

[Metro-One]

Thats crazy the damage in downtown Calgary. From what I saw the airport only reported winds up to 90 to 90 km an hour. The towers must create a strong wind tunnel effect.

Was a beautiful day here for the Grey Cup. Was mainly sunny this afternoon with a warm 12 degrees.

The hotspot in BC was Abbotsford with 15, but many other areas along the coast were 12 and 13.

in the interior Ashcroft was the warm spot at 14, Kamloops was 12.

Seemed to be a mild day across a lot of Canada today for the end of November.

[Jimby]

149 k/ph was the wind speed on top of the Bow.
Calgary was spared the out of control grass fires around L.A. (Lethbridge) which could have been disastrous.

[Nicko999]

Today was probably one of the warmest late November days you'll ever see in Canada.

Low of 3C in Montreal this morning.

It did went up to 12C today. Very mild.:) Dewpoints were up to 12C all accross Southern Ontario/Southern Quebec. That's pretty high for this time of the year.

The Canadian warmspots were Drumheller, Alberta and Huntingdon, Quebec at 16.1C. Not every day you see such mild temperatures at this time of the year in the east AND in the west.:)

[Calgarian]

Crazy wind yesterday! my apartment building survived undamaged, which is nice because there is a high-rise condo going up right beside us.

[lubicon]

A couple of wild videos posted in the Calgary International Airport thread over in the Calgary Local section. One of a LH340 crabbing as it lands on 28 (listen to the wind in the microphone too) and the other of a cargo container blowing across the tarmac.

[PoscStudent]

There was a wind chill of minus 6 today and now it's 8 degrees.

[Nicko999]

About 9C today... after going to 13C during the night.:tup:
We got some rain overnight (November is on pace to be the driest on record... and that's including the 8.2 cm of snow we got). Great for the grass.:tup:

The Canadian warmspot was Kentville, Nova Scotia at 16.6C.:)

[SpongeG]

saw some of the news coverage of calgary - looks crazy there

was a nice sunny day here but bone chilling cold even though it was around +8 or so

[Calgarian]

Winter Storm Warning for Calgary. 10cm or more expected by tomorrow morning.

[PrairieGirl]

Nasty cold sitting up over Alaska :yuck: ...am praying it doesn't drop down through here. :shrug:

High expected today +5.

[north 42]

We're suppossed to get our first measurable snow of the season tonight, just a couple of cm on the grassy surfaces, but we haven't had any real cold or snow yet this year. I'm actually looking forward to it though, as we just decorated for the season recently.

[freeweed]

Winter Storm Warning for Calgary. 10cm or more expected by tomorrow morning.

I have a bad feeling about this one, especially with the far-warmer-than-expected temps right now. The air is saturated with humidity (for Calgary anyway). Tomorrow morning promises to be "interesting" in the Confucian sense.

I hope I'm dead wrong.

[Nicko999]

5C and raining today... it was pouring really hard this evening. Hopefully that will green the grass even more.:tup:

The Canadian warmspots were Sherbrooke, Frelighsburg and Lennoxville, Quebec at 17.0C. The second warmest spot was Yarmouth, Nova Scotia at "only" 13.4C so it's a pretty big difference.

It was forecast for 10cm or more, but mostly the warning comes from the winds - and it's really aimed at people driving on the highway. While Calgary laughed today off, the highways were pretty dicey and would have been much worse if the full storm had hit.

It's better than the alternative - a windstorm nobody warned about, crippling the downtown core and everyone throwing up their hands saying "we didn't know this could happen!". Plan for the worst, hope for the best. ;)

Using extreme and factually incorrect hyperbole is even more ridiculous. No one sees a cloud forming and calls it a weather warning.

Turned out to be a nice day in Calgary today, after the snow stopped of course, a bit bright though, the sun reflecting off the wet streets was killer on the eyes.
