The last time it has been this cold for a Jan 1st in Montreal was in 1999. -17.4 -23.6 -20.5 max min mean

BONNE ANNEE!! HAPPY NEW YEAR !! Montreal-est Ensoleillé -18.3c 9:20am Montreal-east sunny -18.3c 9:20am

COLAPSTER what Noaa is saying about la nina ITS POSSIBLE that it will not meet La Niña threshold (3-month average of the Niño-3.4 index less than or equal to -0.5°C). Therefore, based on current observations and recent trends, ENSO-neutral or La Niña conditions,or it might, we dont know yet.

SETTING UP FOR POSSIBLE MAJOR SYSTEM TO HIT THE REGION. MDLS ARE SPLIT ON TRACK W/ CURRENT GFS BRINGING SFC LOW NE THRU CENTRAL NEW ENG...AND LATEST ECMWF TRACKING NEAR CAPE COD. THE DIFFERENCES IN THESE TWO TRACKS ARE SIGNIFICANT AND WILL AFFECT AMT OF SNOW CWA WILL RECEIVE. DO TO UNCERTAINTY OF SFC LOW TRACK...WILL SPLIT DIFF ON TRACK...CLOSER TO CENTRAL/SE MASSACHUSETTS. TEMPS ALOFT DO RISE TO NEAR 0C AT 850MB INTO E VT/WESTERN SLOPES. WILL INTRODUCE WINTRY MIX OF SW/SLEET/FREEZING RAIN FOR THESE AREAS...AND KEEP REST OF CWA ALL SNOW FOR EVENT. BIG DIFF IN QPF AMTS AS WELL WHERE COULD RANGE FROM 0.50"-1.00"...WHICH COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL TOTALS. SYSTEM WILL HAVE TO MONITORED CLOSELY AS AMTS/PRECIP TYPE COULD CHANGE SEVERAL TIMES BFR MAJORITY OF MDLS IN SYNCH. HAVE GONE AT OR BLW NORMAL FOR TEMPS DURING FORECAST PERIOD. Well it looks like 2 models have diff opinions on the track of this major system. Will have to wait 2 more days to see if models agree on the track.

NORTH EAST OBSERVATIONS

erol coudonc il fait 22.6c chez nous a montreal-est !!!

Like i said in my early winter forcast this winter will resemble 2002 and its right on target with lots of ups and downs temps wize. http://www.climate.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/...&Month=12&Day=1

This has happened before shawn so its not out of the ordinary.The 1890s 1920s mid 1940s and early 1950s.

A HIGH WIND WATCH MEANS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A HAZARDOUS HIGH WIND EVENT. SUSTAINED WINDS OF AT LEAST 40 MPH...OR GUSTS OF 58 MPH OR STRONGER MAY OCCUR. And this is for the Montreal area too for sunday evening. A sharp cold front will invade Southern Quebec.

Ice, cet image radar n'est pas assez précise. Elle indiquait à 06:54 de la neige alors que c'était de la pluie ici (verglaçante). Aussi, elle semble laisser plein de trous où il n'y aurait pas de précipitation alors que ça tombe en continue. THANKS REGG ill try another one from intellicast.

This is the 24 hour accumalation graph and you see where all the moisture is being pumped by the low pressure system which is a north east direction heading to Hudson Bay.Blizzard warnings are out already for Kuujjuarpik, Umiujaq and the Sanikiluaq Islands.

montreal-est nuaguex -5.8c 7:09am montreal-east cloudy -5.8c 7:09am radar:

24 hr precip accumalation. You could see that low pressure systems energy (moisture) is all being pushed well north of Montreal.

HELLO SHAWN If possible could you update me at 2:30 and 3 pm and give me your temp at RDP. I set up a another one this time with a wire and ill also check the wireless one if its at the same temp as the other one. .

hello shawn and celini montreal-est nuageux -9.2c 3:43pm monteal-east cloudy -9.2c 3:43pm my wireless says -7.3c a diff of 2c thanks for the info guys

HELLO SHAWN If possible could you update me at 2:30 and 3 pm and give me your temp at RDP. I set up a another one this time with a wire and ill also check the wireless one if its at the same temp as the other one. . Thanks

18.0° le 6 décembre 2001, record mensuel. Merci Tyrone tu a raison.

New record might be broken for the Montreal area for maximum temp for Dec.27 2008. The record to beat is 10.6c set in 1895. The maximum record for a December month is 18.0c set in Dec. 6 2001. Oddly enough this record that stood for 113 years might have the same track that the low pressure system is taking now, because Toronto Ontario also had a reading of 10.6c on dec 25th and 8.9c on dec 26th 1895, as system tracked north north east winds from the south south west push warm humid air from the gulf of Mexico into Southern Ontario and Southern Quebec making for the temp records back then.What im doing now is some detective work i might be wrong but im taking a guess.

Montreal-est Généralement nuageux -6.8c 12:35pm Montreal-east mostly cloudy -6.8c 12:35pm Aéroport intl de Montréal-Trudeau nuageux -11.2c 12:38pm diff= 4.4c ouest a est

QUOTE (colapster89 @ December 25, 2008 04:18 pm) depuis aussi longtemps qu'on prend des relevés météo, un hiver sans pluie ou redoux sa n'existe pas au Québec. Here are some numbers for you Colapster for Montreal winters with least amount of rain.. the winter season of 1955-56 is the winner so far with 23.5mm DEC TO FEB 1874-75 = 8.4MM 1962-63 = 8.7MM JAN TO FEB 1868= TRACE 1987= TRACE 1879= 0.8MM 1977= 4.8MM JAN TO MARCH 1856= 0.0MM 1940= 5.4MM DEC TO MARCH 1955-56 = 23.5MM
