What a way to end the decade! This last week has brought varied types of weather to close out the noughties. We’ve had sunshine, we’ve had rain and a bit of snow. Between Boxing Day (Dec 26th) and the 27th we had 20.2cm of rain fall on our capital. This greatly reduced our snowbanks, but also made driving a very slippery affair.Intermixed with the rain was a bit of snow; 1.8 cm fell on Boxing Day, and a trace amount on the 27th. The 28th brought us 2.4cm of snow and 0.4cm on the 29th.

According to the weathermen and weatherwomen, a couple of centimeters will close out the 2000s, and 5-10cm will help usher in the new year and the new decade. If their estimates are correct, the next 7 days will bring snow on a daily basis, with 26cm to 37cm by the time next Wednesday rolls around.

I wish you all a Happy and safe New Year!
