This non-stop frigid weather is enough to drive you to drink.

[Keith]

I don't think it's going to end.

4:55 AM ADT Tuesday 25 March 2014
Blizzard warning in effect for:
•Kings County

Heavy snow and widespread blowing snow on Wednesday.

This is a warning that blizzard conditions with near-zero visibilities are expected in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..listen for updated statements.

A very intense low pressure system is forecast to develop off Cape Hatteras this evening. The storm is expected to track just south of Nova Scotia on Wednesday before moving on to Newfoundland on Thursday.

The snow is forecast to begin overnight in Southwestern Nova Scotia and spread to the remainder of the province Wednesday morning. The snow is expected to change to rain late in the day over the eastern half of the mainland and Cape Breton. Elsewhere the snow is expected to taper off Wednesday night. Strong winds gusting up to 110 km/h are forecast to develop ahead of the storm on Wednesday and gradually diminish as the system pulls away Thursday. The strong winds combined with heavy snow will cause widespread whiteout conditions in blowing snow. In general about 30 to 40 centimetres of snow can be expected with this system over most of Nova Scotia. Areas of Southwestern Nova Scotia may see upwards of 40 to 50 centimetres of snow before the system pulls away.

Additionally on Wednesday afternoon and evening higher than normal water levels combined with rapidly rising wave activity may produce local flooding along much of the Atlantic coast of Mainland Nova Scotia during the high tide late Wednesday. In the Northumberland Strait water levels are expected to rise Wednesday evening but appear not to coincide with high tide.

Les Suetes winds gusting up to 160 km/h are expected to develop late Wednesday afternoon and diminish Wednesday evening.

And to think this time two years ago temps were 30C. I hate this fawking winter!!!!

[redoubt]

Super. Can't wait. Balls to you, Mother Nature.

Les Suetes are local to CB, right? The idea of 160 km/hr winds scares the bejeezus out of me...

So... anyone brewing tomorrow? I would attempt it but I'll be parenting.

I'll probably be doing the brewing research and asking dumb questions on here part of my hobby

Work is cancelled for me tomorrow.

Thanks for the info on Les Suetes Kirsten. I didn't know that.

Yep, mostly. The Chetticamp area especially.

I, in a past live, did tower desigh work on the CBC tower on C-camp Mountain and it needed to be 50% over designed because of this effect.

I have heard of it in other places but I can't remember where. Must be too much beer.

I got gas for the generator for this one, getting smart. I usually wait until the power goes out then drive for miles and miles (last time it was Coldbrook) in blizzard conditions, to find a gas station that’s open, then just as I get back the power comes on. Does the trick every time.

Also, storm surge during high tide tomorrow evening - H&T could float off as its tried to many times before. If the beer tanks start floating out I'm grabbing Commissar!

Snowing like a bastard out, and the storm hasn't even arrived yet.

[Tony L]

Good luck, guys, ( and gals ) we are expected to get a load that changes to rain tonight along with the high wind, but nothing compared to what you are going to get.

[jeffsmith]

Not a flake of snow here yet but the whole town is pretty much shut down already.

[Keith]

A few flakes in Sackville, they say it's not suppose to hit until around 11am. Guess which fool went to work today. I'll leave once it picks up, or possibly stay the night lol.

[Woody]

Nothing in Truro yet. I've got gas for the generator, wood in the house, the fridge is stocked and beer fridges are too. Bring it on!!!

[mr x]

[Woody]

This guy cracks me up! I'm thinking he loves the weather like we all love beer.

[redoubt]

Thanks for the Les Suetes confirmation, guys. Crazy that people just get used to it, build stuff to accomodate it, etc. I'm not too keen on high winds. Not the place for me!

Don't worry, Keith, you're not the only one! I just got back from taking Keely to work. I'll get the call to go fetch her when driving conditions are well and truly hazardous and when no one in their right mind would voluntarily go out on the roads.

Listen o Frankie. Order your Chinese food.

Look out PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND!

Sounds legit.

[dean2k]

They've closed the NSLC in southern regions. You know it might be bad when they close the liquor stores. Everything is still open in Cumberland and Colchester!
