1C with a mix of sun and clouds!:) We had of those gorgeous cumulus clouds. Too bad it wasn't warmer and more humid to create storms.

The Canadian warmspot was Ashcroft, BC at 13.5C.

[BretttheRiderFan]

Currently 3 degrees, a beautiful sunny day in Grande Prairie.

I might even go on a walk tonight after helping coach my old junior high's basketball team.

Second semester in school tomorrow...can't wait. Social Studies 30-1, Drama 30, Biology 30 and Art 30.

I'm going for at least 90% in Social again this year.

There have been quite a few days where Calgary was the warmest major city in the country this winter, good to see things back to normal after the last couple cold winters.

[Nicko999]

Cold today in Montreal... -7C with a wind chill of -13C and sunny!

The Canadian warmspot was Fincastle, Alberta at 12.1C.

[SteelTown]

Currently 5C in Hamilton and should be plus temps all week.

[north 42]

It was 13c and sunny here in Windsor today :banana:

[J-MAN]

It's currently +3C in Melita, Manitoba!

[kw5150]

Calgary: sunny. sunny. sunny.

[BretttheRiderFan]

Sunny and 4 C here in GP. Lovely day.

[Nicko999]

Ah, shit!!! Back to the old setup. Spring to our south and west while we get stuck in the colder air. I've had enough... bring the heat on!!!

-8C with a wind chill of -15C and snowing.:(
It was in the double digits in Southern Ontario, 4C in Kingston and around 0C in Burlington.

The Canadian warmspot was Windsor, Ontario at 13.0C

[le calmar]

At least the warm air is back today and the snow changed to rain... But I'd rather have sun than this cold rain. After spending the past winter in France I lost my patience with winter, so if the nice weather can return in the next two weeks I'll take it!

[north 42]

It was 10c again early thismorning, things are looking like spring with green grass, bulbs popping up and longer days. I hope the warm trend continues through February.

[Airboy]

Came across this article thought I'd pass it on.


Thermometer Dies.

http://www.adn.com/2012/01/31/2292509/thermometer-dies-at-haul-road.html

Its interesting to note that some of the far northern regions of Canada are saying that this is a warmer winter. I'm heading north again next week and the temps are only in the low -30C. For the region I'm heading that is warmer.

The next six days are all going to be sunny! high of 0C tomorrow partly sunny.

[Nicko999]

Another day in paradise... not!!!

-5C today with light freezing drizzle. Meanwhile only 150 km to the south in Burlington it was 14C warmer (9C). Even Huntingdon , 65 km away, went up to 3C. This is becoming a daily occurrence and it's ridiculous. Quickly becoming the worst winter I have ever experienced not because of the brutal cold but because we're buried under a lot of snow while just a few kms away, you can actually see the green grass. We better get 30C+ weather in April to make up for this shit.:(

The Canadian warmspot was Vineland, Ontario 11.1C.

[le calmar]

I wasn't aware of that huge difference since I don't look at the forecast for other cities. I did notice on my way to Montreal Sunday that there was almost no snow along Highway 10 around Granby though.

Willie says no to a winter that never was

http://www.thespec.com/news/article/664707--willie-says-no-to-a-winter-that-never-was

WIARTON - Groundhog celebrity Wiarton Willie has predicted the end to a winter that never was. The famed groundhog, who was dragged from his lair just after 8 a.m. this morning, failed to see his shadow.

According to the Groundhog Day tradition, this means an early spring and an end to our milder-than-usual winter.

Willie’s prediction falls in line with Nova Scotia’s own Shubenacadie Sam, who couldn’t find his own shadow earlier this morning.

Shadow or not, most Canadians don’t need a groundhog to predict an end to a never-was winter.

“The one thing uniting all Canadians right now is the question of ‘where’s winter?’ We’re almost sending a search party looking for it,” Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips said in a telephone interview with the Canadian Press.

It is pretty crazy. 0 in Toronto and -13 in Ottawa.

I don't know how correct it is but it says Moncton is -19 right now and Charlottetown is -7. That's a 12 degree difference over 150 kilometres!

Vancouver looks like it's finally going to get some really nice weather -- 9 degrees or so and sunny for a few days.

[Nicko999]

-7C with a wind chill of -11C and mainly sunny! We have colder than normal temperatures as opposed to the record mildness in the Midwest... how strange.:rolleyes:


The Canadian warmspot was Prince Rupert, BC at 10.7C.

[Metro-One]

:previous:Yeah, Montreal has been given the shaft this winter relative to all the areas south, west and even east of them.

On a different page, Abbotsford tonight has been given what is, IMO the first true spring forecast in Canada!

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7024/6810998583_b21222f8ee_z.jpg

All the highs are 10 and above with plentiful sunshine, and the lowest overnight temp is one night at 0.

Conditions will be similar in Vancouver near the water, just a couple degrees cooler. Having an inland warming effect in the Fraser Valley is also the first rue sign of spring during a sunny stretch.

There is actually not that much snow on the ground in Montreal, at least compared to an average winter. Save for the snow banks, pretty much everything would melt within a week were it a little warmer. It is indeed much colder here than everywhere else around though.

[MonctonRad]

It is pretty crazy. 0 in Toronto and -13 in Ottawa.

I don't know how correct it is but it says Moncton is -19 right now and Charlottetown is -7. That's a 12 degree difference over 150 kilometres!

It was -18.5 degrees in Moncton this morning when I went into work but it was sunny and there was no wind so it didn't feel too bad.

As far as temperature differences over a short distance, that's not too unusual in the Maritimes. I remember one summer before we got central air conditioning in our house, the air temperature in Moncton one day was about 33 degrees with nearly 100% humidity. It was stifling!! We decided to pile the kids in the car and head down to Fundy National Park for a cool sea breeze. When we arrived (1 hour and 100 km later), the park was foggy and the air temperature was 8 degrees!!! We were freezing because everyone had shorts and T-shirts on. We had to leave........

Another time, about ten years later in late April, there was a northeasterly breeze off the Northumberland Strait blowing over Moncton. Meanwhile, a warm front had moved over southwestern NB. The mid afternoon temperature in Moncton was about 1 degree, but in Saint Stephen (250 km away), it was 21 degrees!! :sly:

Despite the cold this morning, this has been as much of a non winter in Moncton as everywhere else in the country. We had our first decent snowfall of the winter only two days ago (30 cm). The temperatures have only been "normal" for about the last week. :)

[north 42]

+2c now, going up to +7c today

Next 2 weeks are well above freezing every day for highs, so far this winter we have had very few days with highs below freezing, more than usual.

Was an amazing day today in Vancouver! Was only 7 at YVR but was 12 to 13 at nearly all the other stations (White Rock, Abbotsford, Pitt Meadows...) and nothing but sunshine!

I went for lunch at White Cliff Park, and combined with the sun reflecting off the water was warm enough for lunch in my t-shirt! (no wind as well)

Felt wonderful, here are a couple picks i took today from White Cliff Park:

14.0 degrees and sunny here in the wx.ca (http://wx.ca)West hills of Calgary. About to take the kids for a bike ride.

[Metro-One]

Today was one of those days where i hate our reports coming from YVR.

There were several fog banks just hugging the sea shore and covering some areas, such as Sea Island.

So in all the weather reports its shows Vancouver as only being 4 degrees today and shrouded in Fog, yet the majority of the Metro area was once again basking in blue sky sunshine with temps above 10.

Pitt Meadows and Abbotsford were both 12 again today and White Rock was 11.

Sunshine today at my place in south Van and went for a nice bike ride to Queen Elizabeth Park.

[Nicko999]

-5C and sunny today! Not so bad during the day but it's pretty damn cold right now!!! Such a nightmare of a winter.

Another nice one on the BC coast.

+5 (airport) to +13c around the Victoria area with brilliant sunshine this morning - hopefully we get up to our forecast high of +8 ;) Only got up to +10c yesterday :(

Hamilton weather breaks record

http://www.thespec.com/news/local/article/666864--hamilton-weather-breaks-record

Temperatures in Hamilton broke warm-weather records Monday afternoon.

According to Environment Canada, the previous record high for Feb. 6 was 5.6 degrees Celsius in 1990. By 3 p.m. Monday, temperatures at the John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport had climbed to 7 C.

This also makes Monday the warmest Feb. 6 in the past 52 years.

[Nicko999]

Finally a mild day... 3C and cloudy today! However, it was up to 10C in Burlington with sunshine and no wind.:haha:

The Canadian warmspot was Agassiz, BC at 14.2C

my lawn never died (i.e., surface turning yellow like every other year) this winter.

[craneSpotter]

Another decent one in Victoria this morning. Brilliant sunshine and +7 to +13c. Hope we hit our forecast high of +10c this afternoon ;)

Intermittent showers forecast to start tomorrow, which means higher lows :banana: At 8am the airport was 0c, but the city was +7-8 due to ocean breezes.

Hmmm. White Rock hit +17.3c today, just off the record of 17.4c.

[Metro-One]

:previous:It sure was a nice day! Pitt Meadows was also over 15 today and many other stations were between 12 and 14.9.

I think 17.3 is the new Canadian high temp for 2012 now?

[Nicko999]

-5C with a wind chill of -11C and sunny! Still cold outside but at least the days are getting longer now and it gets sunnier.

The Canadian warmspot was White Rock, BC at 17.3C. This is the new highest temperature in 2012 for Canada. Getting closer to the 20C mark.:)

It has been crazy cold in Europe over the last two weeks.

For example, the warmest temperature in Paris so far this entire month has been -1! That is now over 8 days in row not breaking the freezing mark!

Also there was a good dumping of snow in Rome the other day, and even a dusting of snow in parts of Libya!

Friends in England have been relaying pictures of thermometers at -10 and a bit colder. Absolutely insane for them. That'd be like Vancouver hitting -20.

[leftimage]

I'm no climate expert but there definitely seems to be a warming trend in the upper latitudes for NA vs a cooling trend in Europe (for a few winters now). Paris' winter has been pretty similar to Montreal's this year...

Match-up examples of today:

Montreal 1c vs London 1c
Toronto 4c vs Madrid 4c
Vancouver 8c vs Barcelona 8c
Quebec city -4c vs Paris -2c
Calgary -4c vs Milan -2c
Whitehorse -8c vs Prague -8c

The list goes on. Pretty bonkers when you think about it.

[freeweed]

There've definitely been cooler winters in Europe. I think this is the 3rd winter in a row where London has gotten snow - not exactly a once-in-50-years thing there, but definitely not a regular occurrence from folks I've talked to.

[LeftCoaster]

Last time I was in Barcelona it was snowing on Las Ramblas so it definitely gets colder.

[Nicko999]

Gorgeous today... 3C and not a single cloud in the sky.:tup:

The Canadian warmspot was Prince Rupert, BC at 12.3C.

[freeweed]

I think this is the longest snow drought in the Rockies I've ever witnessed. We're well over 7 days without snow at most resorts (or a few might have 1-2 cm in the past week) and there's almost nothing in the forecast. This weekend was supposed to fix things but it looks like that's gone now.

Parts of southern Alberta are under fire bans, it's so dry here right now.

[craneSpotter]

Mostly cloudy, with the sun poking out, and +8 to +10c in downtown Victoria this morning.

Mean temperature of +7c so far this month at the Uvic and Gonzales stations :)

I like.

[caltrane74]

We were supposed to get a big snowstorm today?

Didn't happen. Apparently Toronto is having a Kentucky/Tennessee winter. It's almost tropical here right now, so warm outside, just crazy. Been like this all winter. In Kentucky they are having a Georgia/Alabama/Mississippi winter.

This is so weird no snow, they said it was gonna be -15 tomorrow, now it's gonna be a nice day. Doesn't wanna get cold here anymore.

Weird.

Happy? It's -14 and still snowing. Still I think we are back above normal in two days so this will all melt. I'm sure the toboggan hills are packed today because if you ad up all the days in total this winter we've had enough snow on the ground to sled it's been less then a week.

38 days until spring and only 4 weeks until the clocks jump forward.
