Index of Subjects Hi Keith I ran into a similar problem when trying to get some snowfall data for the province. Mean data seemed to be available, but getting synoptic data even for the last several months for a couple of places was a challenge.. To boot, a number of "un-official" sources provided contradictory information. Did manage to extract that, with the exception of the South of the province, we seem to have about 30-40% more snow than "average" this year, even with Oct, Nov and Dec being warm Andrew ________________________________________ From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] on behalf of Keith Lowe [mythos25@live.com] Sent: March-18-15 5:09 PM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: RE: [NatureNS] Worst winter ever in Nova Scotia? For NS it probably wouldn't be the worst winter by any statistical criterial because November and December were mild without any snow. I wish there was a more comprehensive site for weather statistics but as far as I'm aware of there is not a great source of information anywhere. The Weather Network has some stats for each community--click Forecasts & Reports/Long Term/Statistics. The last I heard Boston and Saint John are the only places in the NE to break their all-time snow records so far this winter but Charlottetown was getting close too. But I don't remember a January - March stretch this bad in Halifax before. Almost every day has been below normal, we're not getting any thawing cycles, and we're having an unusually high number of severe wind chill days and I don't even want to mention the word snow (though I will say that Halifax has more than doubled its March average in the last 3 days). Also it is not quite NS wide, as often the case the SW tip of NS is getting off quite easy compared to the rest of the province. I was looking at the NovaScotiaWebCam for Cape Forchu yesterday and it was showing mostly bare ground. They got some today but far less than us.

It's an intriguing question isn't it? When was the worst winter ever in NS? Total precipitation, days of snow, temperatures below zero C? We all have our ideas of what a bad winter is. Does anyone know how to find out "statistically" if this is a bad winter? (in comparison to others on record) Chris Peters
