About 15-18cm here in Charlottetown… was ready for a back-breaking shovel, but it is fluffy like feathers.

Merry Christmas Darin.
Travelling over to NS on Tuesday, which looks good for travelling from here in Charlottetown, just wondering about the coastal possibility of snow for NS on Wednesday. What are the latest church showing Darren. Thanks very much and happy new year too.

As you probably know Jim, the Charlottetown area received 1mm of Rain from Thunderstorms that crossed PEI last Thursday, other areas up to 77mm, obviously missing us. Hoping tonight’s Front soaks us all in the Maritimes.

Lotsa Rain for Charlottetown and most of the Island. Maybe we remember that 98mm of Rain in a 24 hour period in early June☔️☔️☔️That helped our June Rain totals.
