The 12Z Euro ensembles show a strong Bermuda high around 1030 mbar, along with a very strong Arctic high around 1040 mbar over Hudson's Bay, with a weak low-pressure system between them on Friday night.

The 12Z Euro ensembles show a 1035 Arctic high over Ontario, along with a 1038 mbar Azores Bermuda high, with a 1009 low between them on Wednesday morning.

The first week of April could have not one, but potentially two ice storms across Atlantic Canada, with the Wed one likely being farther north than the Fri one.
A strong Azores Bermuda high south of a strong Arctic high is a classic setup for warm air aloft & cold surface air. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx

A mix of sun and cloud in the Atlantic region this weekend with a chance of some scattered, often isolated flurries. Offshore low could brush parts of the eastern Avalon with light snow Saturday night. Temperatures though will be much cooler than average! #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Rain mixes to snow in Nova Scotia, P.E.I., and southeast New Brunswick overnight which could make for a slick drive to work. Clearing on Friday. The front will also mix rain to snow for Newfoundland on Friday. The full forecast: facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

A fair start to the weekend for most of the region - a few isolated flurries in NL and some rain-snow along a front in northern New Brunswick. That front will bring flurries/snow to the rest of the Maritimes later Sunday. Offshore low for SE NL. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #halisky

Lots of sunshine across the Maritimes on Friday but cooler temperatures than today. An offshore low will brush the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland with some rain showers and wet snow, with a chance of flurries through central/western Newfoundland. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Weather system this evening/tonight moving across NS and PEI. Here are the amounts of snowfall (blue shades map, cm) and rain showers (green shades map, mm) to expect based on one weather model (HRDPS). #nswx #pewx

Looking at the 12Z EPS (the story is similar on the CMC and GFS ensembles), it looks like we'll have a tumultuous temperature ride over the next couple weeks, from mid-January cold in the 1st week of March to a taste of spring in the 2nd week. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Some sun in the Maritimes Wednesday, but a quick round of snow Wednesday night with 1-5 cm, pockets of 5-10 cm. Scattered flurries linger for Newfoundland, the snow then comes in Thursday. The full update: facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #halisky

Snow reports from CoCoRaHS volunteers: Widespread 15 to 30 cm from most observers in NS, PEI, and south/eastern NB. Drifting a factor in many cases - volunteer in Newcombeville measured 13 cm to 64 cm! Thanks to the volunteers for their dedication to reporting! #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #halisky

No shortage of weather to talk about with some snow in the region this weekend and a developing nor'easter set to move into the region early next week. The full outlook here: www.facebook.com/share/p/18Ff... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #halisky

Lingering flurries over parts of the north and east in the Maritimes tonight into Thursday while a storm continues for parts of Newfoundland. Improving in the Maritimes tomorrow with lingering snow/flurries for eastern/central N.L. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

A weak low will bring flurries and light snow to the Maritimes Saturday night-Sunday. Trace-5cm for most but areas of 5-15 cm possible in the east. Otherwise a fair long weekend. Scattered flurries and light snow will persist for NL with trace-5cm. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Aside from some clouds in parts of the east, almost a completely clear view of the Maritimes from space today! You can see the snow and the ice in the larger lakes and in parts of the Northumberland Strait and Gulf of St. Lawrence. ❄️🧊 🛰️ #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #halisky
