About 4C today and rainy/drizzly. Not too bad. It was snowing just north of Montreal (Mirabel).

The Canadian warmspot was Cumshewa Island, BC at 9.0C.

[Metro-One]

:previous:Our first day nowhere in Canada hit 10 this season i am guessing.

Was a beautiful sunny day here though on the west coast, our 4th in a row!

[freeweed]

Holy crap, Calgary's getting buried!

OK, so it's not the biggest blizzard of the century but it's definitely the most we've had so far and it's been going for several hours already. I didn't see this kind of snow in any forecast although maybe I wasn't paying attention. A few roads are closed and buses are getting stuck climbing hills. The snowblower is definitely getting a workout tomorrow.

[Jimby]

My back alley just got plowed creating a substantial snowbank along the curb.
Earlier, there was a line of vehicles that couldn't make it up the hill below my place. Now there is zero traffic.

[mersar]

Probably 15cm so far in NW Calgary. Starting to slow and still no declaration of a 'snow event' nor snow route parking ban.

[Nicko999]

It's been an amazing November and autumn in Eastern Canada so far...

We finished November 2011 with an average maximum temperature of 9.8C which shatters the old monthly record in 1948 of 9.1C.

1948 stays our warmest November on record though because of the extremely mild nights it had back then (avg 5.3C in 2011 vs 5.8C in 1948).

November 2011 still ends as the 2nd or 3th mildest month on record.:tup:


We also had the warmest climatological autumn (September 1st to November 30th) on record!!!
The avg of 11.0C breaks the old record of 10.7C from 1961.:cool:

Let's hope the colder air stays in the West.:cheers::P

[Nicko999]

1C and sunny! Right about average for this time of the year.

The Canadian warmspot was Cape St-James, BC at 10.8C.

[freeweed]

Calgary (and I suspect much of central/southern Alberta) got walloped. We have a bit over 30cm in my area, and I'd say at least half that or more everywhere else. Quite the mess. Winter has definitely arrived in the prairies.

[Metro-One]

Was another beautiful sunny day here on the west coast, temps around 6 to 9 in the afternoon, but felt great in the sunshine!

I was in Sechelt today so i snapped a few pics of the Sunshine Coast in December!

Some palm trees on the main street:

And my favorite native tree in Canada, the Arbutus. This small grove is right next to the water.

Canada's most "exotic" looking native tree IMO.

:previous: Awesome pictures...:)

What an awesome December day today... 9C and a mix of sun and clouds.:cool: Only a slight breeze outside ( If it was windy, I guess it could have been close to 20C at the border in Huntingdon).:) 21 more days until a green Christmas.:D

The Canadian warmspot was Vineland, Ontario at 14.5C.

[Airboy]

Whitehorse started off about +7 and rain this morning, 10:00 Heavy Snow started and fell right through 7:00pm. must be 8 inches on the ground, 2 mile hill was closed a short time because it became a parking lot. Nothing like heavy wet snow and plunging temps. But now there is a high wind advisory.

[Nicko999]

:previous: That was a record mild day for Whitehorse...

The incredible mild weather continues in Eastern Canada... it went up to 9C even though it did rain/drizzle. Calm winds as well.:)
The low this morning was 7C.:tup:

The Canadian warmspot was Kentville, Nova Scotia at 14.5C.:tup:

[Nicko999]

Cloudy and 2C today!!! TWN reports that Montreal is "dealing with snowy roads". I have no clue where they did get this information from because I can't find any snow on the ground.:haha:

-20 and clear today. Snow was quite deep in places especially on a roof I had to cross. Warm again by the weekend. Everyone here is talking about how this isn't like any other year.

[PoscStudent]

Was only 2 degrees today with rain, it's almost 11:00pm though and the temperature has gone up to 7 degrees and is forcasted go up to 8 degrees over night.

[Nicko999]

2C today with an overcast sky. It did snow a little bit but it was not enough to cover the grass.

The Canadian warmspot was Yarmouth, Nova Scotia at 12.7C. Dewpoint of 12C there as well.

[Metro-One]

We had a misty day yesterday and a cloudy day today, but more sunshine in the forecast for tomorrow and Friday.

I'm betting it will be like one other year. 1989 I believe is when both the Arctic and Siberian Express dropped down though the Western Canadian provinces......:sly:

[Calgarian]

This winter has seemed fairly typical for Calgary so far, which is nice because the last 3 years were very cold. -7 right now and looking to go up to around the freezing mark for the next 2 weeks.

[PoscStudent]

Went up to 13 degrees this evening but that day was gross, it got very windy this evening and it rained all day. A week ago it was 15 degrees and there was also wind and rain, we can't seem to get a sunny warm day. :(

[Nicko999]

2C and sunny today, pretty nice for this time of the year.

The Canadian warmspot was Cheticamp, Nova Scotia at 17.3C. They also recorded a dewpoint of 14C which is pretty awesome for December.:)

[Metro-One]

:previous:That is crazy for this time of the year! anyways was a mix of sun and cloud here and 5. I enjoyed it, hehe.

[whiteford]

i cant believe that it has not gotten cold here in north battleford yet. its been staying around the freezing mark and that's it. not dipping much lower than that. we should be -30 by now. :)

[SpongeG]

was -4 at 9:30 am here - is now around +1 but it is sunny

[PrairieGirl]

Currently -2 was -19

North Battleford your turn will most definitely come. :yes: Jet stream isn't playing fair this year. ;)

[Nicko999]

3C today with rain/snow mix all day long... It was not cold enough to accumulate.

The Canadian warmspot was Tomahawk, Alberta at 9.9C.

[freeweed]

The Canadian warmspot was Tomahawk, Alberta at 9.9C.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the "official" numbers were, but it was 9 or so in Calgary today. Possibly warmer in some areas. A wonderful day.

[Coldrsx]

+4 for Edmonton today

[BLACK STAR]

+4 today with the possibility of many pucks blowing passed a certain Calgary Goal tender tonight:)

[Scruff Bucket]

It's hard to believe that we're going to be +3C and sunny in a couple hours (-2C and sunny right now!), esp. when our normal this time of year is around -13C, and when just a couple nights ago was -30C! (with the windchill!) ... There's still lots of snow, so it should still be (more or less) a white Christmas! :)

[PrairieGirl]

+6 in Moose Jaw :D

[MonctonRad]

It got up to +5C for a while today in Moncton. We had some rain showers earlier in the day. It's cooling off now.

This has been the warmest fall in Moncton in 40 years. We've only had one decent snowstorm and the snow all melted within two days.

My son played football this fall. The season ended in mid November. Every single game day was dry and the vast majority were warm as well. Couldn't ask for better weather!

[freeweed]

+4 today with the possibility of many pucks blowing passed a certain Calgary Goal tender tonight:)

0% is technically a possibility. Just a possibility of none. :banana:

[Nicko999]

Cold today...

-1C with a wind chill of -6C and mainly sunny! We had a few random clouds that brought us some flurries but it still wasn't enough to cover the grass.

The Canadian warmspot was Onefour, Alberta at 12.1C.

[Nicko999]

2C and sunny! Great day.:)

The Canadian warmspot was Cape St. James, BC at 9.2C... pretty cool day across Canada.

[PrairieGirl]

High today -6 Low -11
Moose Jaw's had one heck of a roller coaster ride lately.

[Airboy]

Wind died down early and temps around 0C here in Whitehorse. A little tough to do some cold weather testing.

[Nicko999]

Chances of getting a Green Christmas this year in Eastern Canada are increasing as we approach the 25th. We haven't even gone below -10C yet here in Montreal. Last time it happened so late was 2001.

5C and sunny in Montreal today! Spectacular mid-December day.:cool:

The Canadian warmspot was Brier Island, Nova Scotia at 9.6C.:)

[Nicko999]

1C and a mix of rain and snow today... it's drizzly right now! It just keeps the grass as green as possible.:D

The Canadian warmspot was Baccaro, Nova Scotia at 9.6C.

[flar]

No ice, no snow, it's been above freezing almost every day. Very strange to have green grass in mid-December in Ottawa.

[SteelTown]

It's warm here, currently at 5C and suppose to go up to 11C tomorrow.

Chill out, warm weather won’t be record breaker

The Hamilton Spectator
http://www.thespec.com/news/local/article/639609--chill-out-warm-weather-won-t-be-record-breaker

Hamilton has yet to “spring” into winter.

With an expected high of 11 C Thursday, the burst of warm weather will be brief and is likely to “fall” shy of the previous record of 14.4 C set in 1975.

Environment Canada is predicting the temperature in Hamilton should drop closer to the freezing mark later in the week.

Fears that the warm weather could spell trouble for plants and trees are premature, says Carlo Balistrieri, head of horticulture at the Royal Botanical Gardens.

“In all likelihood, because it’s going to be one degree in a day or two, no,” Balistrieri said Wednesday. “A short-term fluctuation like that is not going to have any major effects.”

Environment Canada issued a forecast saying Hamilton will drop to one degree above freezing by Thursday night.

Historically, Dec. 15 has averaged a high of 0.9 C and a low of -6.1 C.

[Nicko999]

Low of 1C this morning...:)

It went to 2C today but it was kind of hazy. I don't mind, as long as it's green outside. 11 days until a Green Christmas.:D

The Canadian warmspot was Port Weller, Ontario at 11.6C. Dewpoints are also in the double digits (10C) in some places in Southern Ontario.

[Symz]

It is rainy with a temp. of 13C. It's been like this for the past 2 days straight, rain, rain, rain.

[Calgarian]

It's cold in Calgary right now(-8), but after the brutal cold we had last year, no one is complaining. It's been above 0 more than it's been below so far this winter, or at least it seems that way. Supposed to be in the negatives today, but warming up tomorrow, and staying above the freezing mark for the next week, though in Calgary that can change very quickly.

You can tell when Calgary is having a "normal" winter because none of us are on here posting about it. When it's extremely warm or extremely cold, we make note of it - and we haven't had much of either. A few +10 type days, and a few -15 days, but otherwise it's been hovering within a few degrees of zero for the most part. A lovely winter so far.

[SteelTown]

Warm today, went up to 15c.

[Metro-One]

No snow for Van yesterday, was 5 and fell all as rain (as I suspected it would do). A little milder and dry again today.

[flar]

Went up to 10 in Ottawa (still 10 actually) but it was damp and windy so it wasn't pleasant.

[Nicko999]

It was already 4C this morning.:tup:

It went up to 10C today.It was POURING rain earlier but it's mild and dry right now.:)

The Canadian warmspot was Borden and Collingwood, Ontario at 15.4C. Dewpoints were around 12C in Eastern Canada today.:)

[Nicko999]

42.6 mm of rain yesterday... this breaks the old record of 20.1 mm from 1971.

We also came close to the all-time December rainfall record of 51.2 mm from December 11, 2003.

I wouldn't been surprised if we had some isolated thunder... some of those cells were pretty intense.

[PrairieGirl]

currently -5 heading up to -2
Moose Jaw has very nice weather in the next few day's forecast with very, very, little snow to fall. Never had a green Christmas and don't want this year (or any year) to be the first.

we do have some snow on the ground but only in shaded areas.

Yeah it's been pretty good so far this year, but I think we were saying the same thing at this time last year, and it ended up being well below normal for most of the winter...

[Airboy]

-4 in Whitehorse today. Looking good back in Edmonton above 0 when I get home.

[freeweed]

Oh, it was MUCH colder last year (just checking Environment Canada's records to make sure we're not insane). We had highs of -20 in November, and hardly any days above 0 by this point. And THEN it was well below normal for most of winter.

Truly a shitty year.

[Joshy]

You can tell when Calgary is having a "normal" winter because none of us are on here posting about it.

Then this can't be a "normal" winter for you, because half the posts are from Calgarians, pretty much giving a tri-hourly update on Calgary's weather to the rest of the country, or anything else weather-related in Calgary.

[Nicko999]

Great December day... about 4C and sunny today!:cool: Can't complain really!:)


The Canadian warmspot was Cheticamp, Nova Scotia at 12.8C.

Um.. no offense, but are you on crack? I mean, seriously good crack?

Look over the past few pages - it's basically Nicko with his daily updates. And a couple of other regulars. Me and Calgarian are the only ones from Calgary, and we only post every few days at best - with the exception of our biggest storm of the season.

I could count the posts to demonstrate this, but is there a point?

yeah, Nicko; forgot to give a shout-out to him.

It just seems like the same thing posted over and over and over and over and over and over again. Same people saying the same things. Just wish we could hear from some different people from different parts of the country more often, rather than just Calgary and Montreal. It gets very boring (although to Nicko's defence, he does make a point to be a little more inclusive of what is going on in other parts of the country.......sometimes.)

[feepa]

Greco Roman just gets upset if noboby mentions winnipeg often. Greco even talks about winnipeg weather, while he posts from an Alberta IP, as if he was still in Winnipeg...

How's it going Greco/Joshy.

Maybe you should try looking at the posts instead of ranting against places you dislike.

In the past 2 pages alone, I see weather updates from Vancouver, Hamilton, Whitehorse, Moncton, Edmonton, Moose Jaw, Ottawa, Windsor, North Battleford, and Regina.

I mean seriously - are you being willfully stupid or are you just trolling?

[Nicko999]

Wow, first real arctic shot in Eastern Canada.
It only went up to -7C with a wind chill of -9C and sunny! Still no snow on the ground. 1 more week until a Green Christmas.


The Canadian warmspot was Lillooet, BC at 13.6C. Not bad at all.:)

[Blitz]

We keep adding to Windsor's already record precipitation amounts this year. It's nearly 1400 mm now (a normal year brings about 850 mm). The farm fields around town are completely saturated and it's been a bad year for agriculture all around.

Windsor's weather records only go back to 1940 but Detroit's go back to the 1870s and they're saying this is their 2nd wettest year ever (apparently 1880 is the wettest year and we're only about half an inch from reaching that record).

It seems over the past few years that the storm track has been further north so extreme southwestern Ontario has been hit hard from storms that would normally be down over Ohio. That includes snowstorms in the winter where Windsor has been pounded while Toronto gets nothing.

[PrairieGirl]

Currently 0
trace amount of snow fell earlier...don't want it to get any warmer.
Always had a white Christmas don't want this year to be any different.

Still have enough of a child in me to remember the disappointment of going to bed without snow and the pure joy of seeing 2 feet had fallen overnight/very early Christmas morn (back in the years when the prairies got a lot of snow when it fell). Also remember the adults not being so pleased but I still want it.

[Dougler306]

Snowing and a bit of flurries here in regina,sk. Goes from sunny yesterday, to snowing today

[Jarrod]

It was weird last night because it was raining here... It turned to snow, but rain in the middle of December in Edmonton...

Anyway, it is -3C right now. Today was nice and sunny.

[Nicko999]

Another cold day... we went below -10C for the first time in 9 months (was -12C this morning).
-6C with a wind chill of -8C and sunny today! Still no snow, 6 days until a Green Christmas.

The Canadian warmspot was North Cowichan, BC at 10.2C

[Metro-One]

Been nice and mild on the coast the last few days. And the rain has fallen mostly at night, leaving the days nice and dry to go for some nice bike rides again!.

[Nicko999]

We had a little bit of snow this morning but it was already melted by noon.
Went up to 6C with some rain showers. 5 more days until a green Christmas.

The Canadian warmspot was Cumshewa Island, BC at 13.2C.

[Calgarian]

It was raining for a bit last night, very unusual for this time of year. It's already warmer than the high today, should get up over 10 again. Now this is more like it, the last 3 winters were crap!

[freeweed]

FURIOUSLY melting in Calgary today. Man it's nice to see the sun for more than 5 minutes. :tup:

Way to warm here in Edmonton, actually dislike it.

Regardless, not looking at any substantial snowfall for the GTA/Ottawa/Montreal region into Christmas, but some coatings to 3 cm events are possible. Saw the webcams today, looking very green and brown in these areas right now.

It's a cold today but there isn't a single cloud in the sky.:cool:

Went up to -5C and sunny!:)
I think 2011 is going to be the greenest (or brownest in some cases) Christmas in Canadian history. All the Prairie cities were above zero today (in some cases close to double digits). Even if they have snow on the 25th, it won't be that much.

The Canadian warmspots were Lytton and North Cowichan, BC at 10.7C.

[SpongeG]

was really mild and sunny today - one forecast on google says we reached 13c it didn't feel that warm but saw a few people in shorts actually

[PrairieGirl]

-6 the high in Moose Jaw

+6 expected on Dec 25th :wah:

We've got snow coverage but it's minimal....

Which is weird. Calgary has the fewest white Xmases of any major Canadian city that's not coastal nor below the 44th parallel, yet we're one of the whiter cities in Canada right now. According to some stories we may not qualify as "white" this year, but I find that hard to believe. The city and surrounding areas are most certainly white.

[Nicko999]

-3C with a wind chill of -9C and messy outside... we had very light freezing rain today but thankfully it is above zero so conditions should improve by tommorow morning.

Still no snow though so we only need 3 more days until a Green Christmas.

[PrairieGirl]

Currently -7 :banana:
-1 expected for the high today :(

It's brown for the most part out west of the city again. Sure liking this winter over the last few, fairly mild and a few cms of wet snow every week beats the 40cm dumps with minus 30 windchills of the last 3.

I recently came across something interesting -- a picture of a daffodil that is blooming in late December in Annapolis Royal, NS. They also just had a snowfall:

Average high: 11.4
Average low: 5.7

That station didn't go below 0 until it had one night of -0.7 on December 10. So far December highs there are averaging 8.3 and the coldest low is -4.0.

[Nicko999]

Brutally cold... the low this morning was -17C.:sly:

It only warmed to -13C today under a bright blue sky. Coooollllllldddddd! Meanwhile Saskatoon and Regina broke records today (at 7C and 4C respectively).

The Canadian warmspot was Grassy Lake, Alberta at 10.0C.

Merry Christmas!

There's still snow on the ground out here in Cochrane

*sigh* We (prairies) are in the subarctic, this Christmas just ain't right. :koko: Our backyard still has around 35% coverage and I'm imagining with the temps I've seen in the major prairie cities it ain't much different in them. To me a white Christmas is total coverage and to truly look right there has to be at least 6 inches sitting out there (though preferably a foot or two or three).

Off to eat some of my sour cabbage rolls (nothing in this world beats them for comfort food :yes::tup:)

Merry Christmas Canada!

or

Happy Holidays!

[Nicko999]

Officially -16.9C yesterday morning... big reason of the drop in temperature is the snow cover...

Take Burlington for example (with a lot less snow cover right now), they never went below -14.4C

Boston with no snow cover was about -7C.

[Aylmer]

EC forecasted 2cm of snow and -1C for Christmas day.

...


Instead, we stayed below -7 and got more than 10cm of snow so far (it's still coming down pretty nicely)!

I could not have asked for a better Christmas gift, considering that there was not a flake in sight on Wednesday!
And what a beautiful snow it is - There is almost no wind and the snow is fluffy and powdery. Perfect Christmas weather, if you ask me!

And, a bonus, we got our required 2cm last night and therefore have a WHITE Christmas! Along with Québec and a handful of other cities, we are one of the rare ones this year...

More cold air and snow for Christmas...:rolleyes:

-8C with a wind chill of -13C today.

The Canadian warmspot was Lethbridge, Alberta at 12.5C. Must have been a nice Christmas.:)

I dontget all of this warmth love. We live in Canada. Christmas is about snow and cooler weather.

We had to cancel our 12th annual tobogganing day. Rinks are barely open.

The grass is not only green in Port Lambton, ON, it's actually still thick and lush. My relatives down here say it's hardly even been freezing at night. It was 6 degrees and sunny on Christmas day. There was a light snow on the night of the 23rd, but it was melted by noon on Christmas Eve.
