The Weather Report From Hoptoad Hill (near Liverpool,NS)

Jan 3,2008
Temperature readings in Canada are measured in Celcius.
While other areas of Atlantic Canada are buried in lots of snow that is not the case here at all.News reports have northern NS,most of NB and PE trying to dig out from a massive amount of snow with lots of wind making the task almost futile.
From the The Chronicle Herald (Jan 3,2008):
---'In Halifax, during the month of December, there were only five days in which the port city was free of any snowfall.'
----'In P.E.I., Summerside Police Chief David Poirier urged motorists to stay off the roads.
"Cruisers are on standby in case they are needed for emergencies, with plows available to get them to their destinations."
On the Island’s north shore, the winds were gusting at over 100 kilometres per hour.'
---'The high winds and blowing snow forced police to close a section of the Trans-Canada Highway near the border between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
The low, flat area known as the Tantramar Marsh is notorious for hazardous driving conditions during winter storms.'
---'The poor conditions forced the closure of some businesses, universities and colleges and kept flights grounded or delayed for much of the day in Moncton, Charlottetown, Halifax and St. John’s, N.L.'
We had a pretty good day here yesterday with temps just slightly below freezing and a few light flurries for the daylight hours.It was quite windy,also.Our biggest problem here currently is ice on alot of the dirt roads and driveways.The paved streets are all clear.Temps yesterday dropped to -8° in the evening and almost double that in the overnight.This morning it is mostly clear and the wind has died out considerably.There is no great deal of precip in the forecast and the cold air that moved in last night will be shortlived.A warmup is expected to begin on the weekend with temps forecast to be about 5°C above normal by Monday.
