As we were waiting for the plane to take-off this morning in St. John's the weather finally began to develop a few winter-like characteristics. Snow was falling, and then being whipped across with runway in such a way that it appeared to be falling vertically. We encountered rather similar weather conditions when we arrived in Halifax.
By this afternoon snow had begun to fall rather steadily. It didn't take too long for a few centimeters to accumulate.
More importantly, while waking up from my afternoon nap I heard that a new storm had been forecast to hit this region tomorrow. While I am not normally a believer of storm forecasts, in this case the satellite imagery does seem to suggest that there is something moving this way from the New England states.
The plan, at least as far as I am concerned, is to head to the grocery store tomorrow morning to re-stock our fridge and cupboards (which are somewhat bare because of our absence) and then brace for the storm (i.e.: play board games), a process which we may have to interrupt if we end up having an ultimate game in the evening.
The possibility of such a storm was a significant part of our motivation to return when we did. I know that I am glad that I am in Halifax rather than in St. John's worrying about whether the Halifax airport will be shut down for some period of time in the post-Christmas rush.
