Snow Forecast

Posted on December 9, 2010 by Charles Hodgson| 3 Comments

XCZone claimed on TriRudy that 50cm of snow is forecast for Chelsea this weekend. That made me look at the forecasts. Environment Canada at this point isn’t telling beyond Friday which they predict will bring only 2cm. The Weather Network talks of 20cm from Friday through Sunday. But last weekend the forecast for Montreal was 2 to 4cm and they got 25cm or something, so whatever’s coming will come.

    It’s hard to predict snow quantities whent he storm is still over the Pacific, and Sunday’s a long way off. Yesterday’s Weather Network prediciton of 35-45 cm has changed to 20 cm. Who knows what it may be by Monday! However, before the snow comes and covers it up, has anyone found some safe-for-skating natural ice in the park? Ramsay Lake, Lac Kidder?
