So doing my regular swipe through the forecast models today and I came across a beauty of a long range forecast.

Basically, our first few weeks of 2010 are going to be wet. And not just a little wet. If the forecast holds (and yes, that’s a big if right now) then between January 1 and January 14, we could see upwards of 400mm of rain.

That’s what the model is saying right now. Again. This could change, but it’s worth noting that there are “big” things being forecast all around North America right now. From a major New Years Eve blizzard in New England and New Brunswick, to a major cold snap afterwards across the continent… to.. yes.. our little neck of the woods. Where we have one mother of a week coming at us.

At this point it looks like there could be a good shot of wind as well with the system on the 8th-10th period. But again, it’s very far out, so too soon to say for sure.

So there’s you’re New Years heads up. Get ready for at least a little rain… and possibly… as much as we had in November. No small feat.

Hi everyone!

Merry Christmas!

Well, not a whiff of snow around here. But hey, at least we don’t have a blizzard like most of the US. It’s going to stay pretty much as it has been the past week. I think the weather is taking a holiday too. Nothing really exciting happening though there is a chance for some precipitation next week.

Looks like our next chance for excitement will be the week we go back to work/school. The computer model gives us 200mm of rain through 3 storms between the 6th and 11th of January. We’ll see how much of that comes to fruition.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas and got all they wanted yesterday.
