Arctic dipping south

Thankfully, there is a prediction of "several inches" of fresh powder for the northern mountains in VT this weekend, which means there will be some snow for my trip on Feb. 12.
I haven't seen any predictions of a monster storm headed this way. I wouldn't mind it, though, especially since I won't be starting my new job full on until I get back from vacation.

I've heard different things since yesterday. Some say 6 inches in a couple of hours, some say more, but most of the local news forecasters aren't saying anything other than that we will have accumulation and that it is too early to tell how much. They don't usually mention it this far out, so we will see. Hopefully we will have a total miss!

They don't usually mention it this far out because the models are totally unreliable this far out.

In February, people in the northern half of the US should always be generally prepared for snow which may be significant and may be minor.

I hope we get that big storm. I just ordered snowshoes and would love to get to use them!

We don't normally GET weather like this, at least not for as long a period as it's been lasting - I mean seriously, we've had days when the south pole was warmer It isn't like we are in the Dakotas or Michigan. And, of course, they TELL us this and it makes it worse. It will be interesting to see if there is a run on the grocery stores again this weekend. They refuse to speculate about how much we are going to get, at least on the news, but the weather forecasters are still telling folks that they might want to go ahead and pick up extra food this weekend. I don't think I've ever seen them treat a potential storm quite like this... Of course, there needs to be those occasional extreme seasons that sets the records, and I think this one will be one for the record books for our area.

arghhh. 10cm of snow forecasted starting tomorrow. That would be awesome. BUT!!!! rain to fall the next morning! So you guessed it. It will be a mess, freeze, and be so much fun (read NOT). What a weird winter in Montreal. We cannot enjoy any winter activities (snowshoes, trail walking with the dogs - as all turns into ice), etc. I'm ready for May!!!!!

The forecasts for the snow that came over night were all over the place, 1"-10". Looks like we've ended up in the middle of the range, somewhere around 4 or 5. But this is the kind of winter weather I like; it's warm enough to enjoy the snow (so long as you can avoid driving anywhere!). And it should warm up enough tomorrow to melt a lot of it.

The last of the previous snowfall had finally melted Sunday afternoon, just hours before the rain started to change over to sleet then ice. This is an unusual winter for sure!
