Well it hasn’t even been a week since Moncton got it’s first snowstorm of the season and now we have a heavy snowfall amounts coming with about 15-25cm of snow. This latest winter snowstorm is going to be a nasty one. Moncton is not only expected to get some heavy snowfall amounts but it will also bring a mixture of snow, rain and freezing rain by Thursday morning. This will bring some nasty driving conditions and everyone in Moncton should drive with caution. This will be the 2nd snowstorm of the season for Moncton and many people predict that we are in for a winter to remember with all kinds of snow.

On Sunday Dec. 6, we had our first winter snowstorm in Moncton and ended up with 13 cm of snow that fell as reported by The Moncton International Airport. This latest one coming this evening is a much bigger system coming in and expected to leave Moncton in quite a mess.  For all the people who wanted a white Christmas, we have it! All the mild temperatures are behind us now and Moncton should be aware that winter has arrived in full force. More snow in Moncton leads us to believe we could be in for a very long winter. The 2nd snowstorm of the season for 2009 has arrived! Snowfall warning for Southeast New Brunswick which will bring some pretty nasty weather conditions. Drive safe and adjust your driving as the roads will become very slippery when it turns over from snow to freezing rain, then rain. We are also expected to have strong winds between 40-70km/hr and up to 100 km/hr winds in some locations causing blowing snow. This latest snowstorm will most likely cause power interuptions in some areas. Winter has arrived!

What do you think? Is Moncton in for a long winter this year? I think we’re going to get plenty of snow this year, what about you? Are you glad winter is here or are you already wishing summer was here
