Nova Scotia Blizzard Warning
"Pierre Belanger" wrote in message news:... Hey all: Since I am an ex-wx forecaster (aviation focus) and still keep in touch with the av wx forecasting community in Canada, I thought I would pass on the following info... Halifax, NS received 95 cm of snow (that's about 3 feet!) in 24 hours...double their previous record. Also, winds were quite wicked, with gust reaching 100 km/h (a bit more than 60 mph). City had recorded drifts reaching 6-8 feet, but some outlying areas had even larger drifts...would have LOVED to be in on this one... Good (bad?!) news is that another 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 inches) of snow expected on Sunday....) Having lived out East when I was in the military, I can tell you that the humongous snow piles can disappear very, very quickly...in 1980, we had about 5 feet of snow (average depth on our snow survey) and all this disappeared in 4 (yes, 4!) days...one day we reached (in very early March) 30 degrees C ( about 85F), so you can imagine the amount of sublimation going on.... All I can say is...cool... Pierre "Charles M. Kozierok" wrote in message ... In article , Eric wrote: } the obs from halifax indicate consistent +SN for the last 7 hours.... Wow. } some of the banding northern NS. and southern NB is quite stunning I saw that some have reported 4-6"/hr snow during this storm.
