It's Snowing In Halifax, NS!
I was just looking at the news/weather in Halifax, NS and saw that snow was forecast, so I checked out one of the webcams and indeed it is snowing now.

Just be careful what you wish for...I'm sure that by February they would be grateful for the help digging out!

I'm sure if I was living in NS the 'novelty' of shovelling the white stuff (and cold) would wear off (knowing me) after the first couple of dumps!
We've had sooooo much rain here in the west of England for the past couple of months. I'm sure it rains here, more than in Ireland now

Hi
Yep it certainly is!! As nice as it is to look at its a bitch to drive in. Ive just been sat on the 118 from Dartmouth for 90 mins whilst they drag a car out of a ditch. Might get to use the new snow blower though! whooppee!

LOL ... my husband, the Canuck, use to love sitting by the exit ramps in Canada and watching what he called "new Canadians" trying to get off.

I'd say Halifax is getting comprehensively hit by the snow now according to the radar pic! (We get it tonight/tommorrow AM)

Oh, yes it is (and we haven't been sitting here for the last few weeks being smug about everyone elses misfortune while we were up to 15C, honestly 
)
I've had a good initiation into snow types this afternoon. i.e. the big fluffy stuff that was falling earlier doesn't usually settle, and won't last long. However, the fine stuff that is coming down now is more evil :scared:
On the go home early / hang around till it calms down debate: best advice apparently is to wait until the ploughs have had a chance to get out, and the first batch of accidents have been cleared.
It does look pretty though
Fingers crossed those winter tires are on form.

Right now we have forecasts ranging from 10-40cm of snow and 10-20mm of rain on top of it all starting anywhere from midnight onwards. I think it's going to be a yucky morning on the Rock.
