Temperature readings in Canada are measured in Celcius.
Yesterday started out very cold here on the south shore of Nova Scotia.My thermometer was showing a cold -18 at sun up....thankfully there was very little wind.The temps rose throughout the day and reached a seasonal normal high of -5°.The temps held close to that through the evening and were only down to -7 by midnight.A warming trend is on the way with highs in the plus double digits expected by the end of next week.Those temps are very unusual for here in Jan and it will be interesting to see if that prediction holds.
Unlike other parts of Atlantic Canada we have no snow cover here presently and it looks like we won't have any for awhile.This morning it is much warmer than yesterday and the forecast is for a little snow this evening changing to rain overnight.
