December 2013 Climate Summary for northern and eastern Maine

December 2013 finished with well below normal temperatures and well above normal snowfall.

Temperatures averaged from 4 to 7 degrees below normal across northern and eastern Maine, with the coldest anomalies across far northern Maine.  Snowfall was well above normal, and in most spots was 200 percent or more of normal.

The average temperature at caribou of 12.9 degrees was 5.3 degrees below the 1981-2010 average temperature.  There were only 9 days with an average temperature that was above normal, and there were no days with a high temperature above freezing after the 6th. It was the coldest December since 1989. At Bangor, the average temperature of 18.8 degrees was 5.8 degrees below average.  It was also the coldest December since 1989.

As far as snowfall goes, Caribou ended up with 44.8 inches of snow making it the 4th snowiest December on record, but well shy of the all-time record of 59.9 inches in 1972.  Caribou had an amazing string of 13 consecutive days with measurable snowfall from the 15^th through the 27^th, which broke the all-time record number of consecutive days with measurable snowfall of 9 days set in February 1960 and later tied in January 1991. There were 23 days with measurable snowfall, which was the most ever in December, and tied with January 1967 for the most days in one month with measurable snowfall.

At Bangor, a total of 28.6 inches of snow was observed which made it the 7th snowiest December on record, but well shy of the all-time record of 50.2 inches in 1970.

The month began with a snow pack of 1 to 5 inches across most of northern Maine, with no snow along the immediate coast.  A series of storms brought significant snowfall from the 15th through the end of the month.  By the end of the month, the snow pack was mostly between 1 1/2 and 2 feet across northern and eastern Maine with less than 1 foot along the coast.

There were several major winter storms that affected the area.  The first was on December 15^th and 16^th that produced widespread totals in excess of a foot across northern and eastern Maine including the immediate coast.  The highest totals of near 1 1/2 feet were observed across eastern Aroostook County.  Another storm quickly followed on December 17^th into the 18^th and mainly impacted coastal Hancock and coastal Washington counties with 6 to 12 inches of snow.

The most significant event was a multi-day ice storm that affected Downeast Maine the week before Christmas.  The storm left tens of thousands without power after more than an inch of ice accreted on trees and power lines.  It took a few days before power was restored to the majority of residents, and over a week in the more rural areas.  The storm was followed by a storm on the 29th the dumped over a foot of snow in across interior Downeast in many of the same areas that were hard hit by the ice storm.  The month ended with bitter cold on the 30^th and 31^st with many spots across northern Maine not getting above zero.

Overall the wind was relatively light this past December with an average wind speed at Caribou of 6.7 mph.  There were only 2 days at Caribou with an average wind speed above 10 mph.  The peak wind speed for the month was only 31 mph on the 30th.  At Bangor, the average wind speed for the month was 6.3 mph, and there were only 3 days with an average wind speed over 10 mph. The peak wind speed for the month was 40 mph on the 15th.

Halifax Metro and Halifax County West
4:01 PM AST Thursday 02 January 2014
Blizzard warning for
Halifax Metro and Halifax County West continued

Heavy snow combined with strong northeast winds are expected to give blizzard conditions overnight and Friday.

This is a warning that blizzard conditions with near-zero visibilities are expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..listen for updated statements.

A low pressure system currently south of Long Island will approach Nova Scotia tonight and track south of the province on Friday as it intensifies. This system will bring snow, near-zero visibilities in blowing snow, and cold wind chill values which together will give potentially dangerous winter conditions to the entire province on Friday. Travel will likely be significantly impacted in many areas.

At this time the heaviest snowfall amounts are expected over Southwestern Nova Scotia...The Annapolis Valley...And most of the Atlantic coast where total snowfall amounts of up to 30 centimetres..With locally higher amounts possible..Are expected by late Friday. These snowfall amounts combined with strong northeast winds and very cold temperatures will give ideal conditions for extensive blowing and drifting snow with frequent whiteout conditions. Blizzard warnings are in effect for these areas for Friday.

Elsewhere in the province..Although lesser snowfall amounts are expected, blowing and drifting snow giving near-zero visibilities at times will become an issue as north to northeast winds increase during the day Friday. As such, blowing snow warnings are now in effect for these areas, and it is possible winter storm or blizzard warnings may be extended for these areas later tonight once the full impact of this storm becomes more clear.

The very cold airmass over the region currently will continue to give cold wind chill values below minus 25 across the entire province tonight and Friday.

Furthermore...Higher than normal water levels are expected along the Atlantic and Fundy coastlines of Nova Scotia during high tide on Friday. Heavy pounding surf is expected along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia Friday afternoon and evening.
Saint John and County
3:31 PM AST Thursday 02 January 2014
Blowing snow warning for
Saint John and County continued

Poor visibility in blowing snow forecast for Friday.

This is a warning that an extended period of blowing snow with poor visibilities is expected in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..listen for updated statements.

A very cold airmass over the province will persist tonight, Friday and into Saturday. Wind chill values will be near minus 35 Friday night over northern areas and along eastern coastal regions. Although not quite warning criteria, wind chill values will persist lower than minus 25 throughout the province until Saturday.

A low pressure system will track south of Nova Scotia on Friday. At present time 10 to 15 centimetres of snow is expected in southern most areas of New Brunswick. Winds gusting to 60 km/h will result in blowing snow giving occasionally near zero visibility.

A slight shift in the track of the low to the north could result in greater amounts of snow and stronger winds which may require an upgrade to a winter storm or blizzard warning over parts of Southern New Brunswick.

Queens County P.E.I.
10:59 AM AST Thursday 02 January 2014
Blowing snow warning for
Queens County P.E.I. issued

Snowfall combined with strong northeast winds will give significantly reduced visibilities in blowing snow on Friday.

This is a warning that an extended period of blowing snow with poor visibilities is expected or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..listen for updated statements.

A cold airmass over the region combined with brisk northwest winds will combine to give extreme wind chill values below minus 35. Wind chill values will improve later today as winds ease and temperatures moderate somewhat but cold wind chill values below minus 25 will persist through Friday.

A low pressure system will approach the region tonight and track well south of the region on Friday as it intensifies. This system is expected to give periods of snow to the island on Friday. This snow, combined with the cold Arctic airmass over the region and increasing northeast winds gusting up to 60 km/h Friday afternoon, will likely give near-zero visibilities at times in blowing and drifting snow, especially over exposed areas.
