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

A trough and cold front will bring some scattered flurries/bursts of snow with a chance of a shower as it crosses the region Wednesday. Otherwise some sun in the mix. Unsettled weather expected to end the week. The full forecast: facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Estimate of the snowpack moisture content as of Monday morning and the predicted snowpack by the end of Tuesday afternoon. Add this estimated melt to the forecast rainfalls to get an idea of total 'water'. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

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

Fair and in most cases a bit warmer for much of Atlantic Canada on Tuesday. Cooler temperatures and a messy mix moves into the region Wednesday and Wednesday night. Full detailed update here: facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Cold tonight folks ... before the warm-up on weekend. HRDPS model temps before sunrise: #nswx #pewx #nbwx

Mixed precipitation falling across Nova Scotia with rain in the southwest and along the Atlantic Coast of the mainland, with snow inland that in some cases is mixing with freezing rain. Snow is falling for south-southeast New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx

Mix of sun and cloud in the Maritimes on Tuesday, but snow for much of the region develops Tuesday night. Onshore flurries for Newfoundland on Tuesday, then some snow arrives Wednesday. The full forecast: facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

A partial lunar eclipse will take place as the moon sets Tuesday AM. Visibility will range from ~20% magnitude in eastern Newfoundland to ~90% magnitude in southwest Nova Scotia. Clouds more likely western N.S.-N.B., western N.L. Full outlook: www.facebook.com/share/p/18RP... #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

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

Weather outlook for the next few days. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

Quite a bit of sunshine in most of the Maritimes Friday but considerable variation in temperature - near/above freezing in the south, below freezing in the north. Sun in the mix for Newfoundland but onshore flurries/snow for the west coast. Watching low to our south Saturday. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

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

Super high-resolution Sentinel satellite image over the Confederation Bridge from Friday Feb 6th. The ice movement is from the NW (upper left) and the segmentation of the ice flowing through the bridge piers can be seen SE of the bridge. #nbwx #pewx

Lots of sunshine in most of the Maritimes on Friday, a bit slow to clear in Cape Breton. Lingering flurries mixed with showers/drizzle for Newfoundland with sea enhanced snow on the west coast. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #Halisky

Here's a look at unofficial snowfall amounts from Wed. AM - this morning. A lot of variability across the region! Most widespread reports of 20-30+ cm through parts of central/eastern mainland N.S. and southwest N.B. Snow still falling parts of the north and east. #NSStorm #NBwx #PEwx #NSwx #Halisky

Summary of some of new snow totals (cm) from the recent weather system. You'll probably notice variability around your property depending on the surface. The snow partly melted during day yesterday. Data from cocorahs.org and a few official sites. #nswx #pewx #nbwx

An Alberta Clipper moves into the Gulf of Maine, then off the coast of Nova Scotia Wednesday night. Snow builds into the Maritimes tonight through Wednesday, NL Thursday. Most snow expected in N.S. Full update: m.facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Low pressure off Newfoundland influences the weather tonight and tomorrow for Newfoundland and the eastern Maritimes. An Alberta clipper moves into the region on Wednesday with snow, heaviest NS and eastern PEI. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #halisky

A weak trough moves east of Nova Scotia tonight. A chance of flurries on Thursday, especially northern/eastern Nova Scotia, PEI, northern New Brunswick and Newfoundland. Temperatures trend cooler to end the week. It looks like we will break the Sunday-Monday storm pattern! #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Another interesting tidbit.
Halifax-Shearwater stayed below the freezing mark for 10 consecutive days from January 24th through February 2nd and that's the longest stretch below zero for the city since January of 2007!!!
(February 2015, had one day that jumped above zero)
