Winter is here

Yesterday evening, according to Environment Canada we had a "winter storm". I believe a winter storm is a blizzard like occurence with ice pellets. There was enough snow to completely cover grass and it looks to be cold enough today so we won't lose it. Also, we have a freezing rain warning today. What seems very odd to me, is that in Halifax in the winter to seems to very consistently get warm overnight and cool during the day. Yesterday evening the temperature was about -7. This morning the temperature has risen to 0. The forecast predicts the temperature will fall to -6 by afternoon. The temperate is predicted to fall more in the evening, down to -18. I hope it warms up tomorrow night.

Unfortunately, Dalhousie is open this morning. It would seem that Dalhousie sends out an email outlining their closure policies if a storm is predicted that might close the University. This really has the potential to get my hopes up if it keeps happening.
