Are those the test rocks on the pond?

Beautiful Pictures, they would make nice Christmas cards.

It is not far from our street, (about 1 km / 1000 yds) and the youngsters love to test the ice that way. And of course it is safer tan try to walk out there.
You may see open water under the old pine on the left.

I used to do it too. It doesn't work too well when one becomes heavier than the rocks.

Ready for another blast of Winter on PEI. After a couple of weeks of pure green, we may be white after tomorrow! Lets hope there will still be power!

A mix of snow and ice pellets with strong winds is expected Tuesday.

A winter storm will approach the Maritimes from the west tonight. Precipitation is expected to begin as snow tonight then become mixed with or change to ice pellets during the day Tuesday. Strong easterly winds are expected to develop across the province Tuesday afternoon.

Snowfall accumulations of 10 to 15 centimetres are forecast by early Tuesday evening with potentially higher amounts over western areas of the Island. Additional snowfall is also likely Tuesday night before tapering off Wednesday morning as the storms moves eastward.

I wish I could trade places with you. It looks like we may have a rainy Christmas this year, for the 3rd year in a row now!

Well, they are still saying we could have a green Christmas here. It all depends on the temperatures next week. Just like White Christmas happen less often for you, green Christmases are less common for us. To me, I love Green Christmases, because it means easy travel! We have one every 5 years or so...

After the winter we had last year, I would welcome it!

Actually, only until the last couple years, I can't remember a single Christmas without snow. I may be wrong on my numbers; I think we had snow for Christmas last year, but the year before we didn't.

Almost every year we have had at least one snowfall in November, including this year, then a lull until about mid or late December, then late December or early January we really get hit with a big snowstorm. Most years we get a light dusting overnight Christmas Eve, but now only a couple exceptions where snow came a few days after.

Dave,

What does it look like on the ground, where you are? Looks like rain behind it so it won't last long, on the ground, that is.

Hi John:

Still green to this point, but the snow hasn't yet started on this end of the Island. Snow is forecast to spread from west to east across Prince Edward Island this morning. But the forecast for this end of the Island is: Dec 15 2015 – 6:30 a.m, 1 c., 33.8 f. Snowfall warning in effect. Today, cloudy. Snow beginning this morning then changing to ice pellets this afternoon. Snow and ice pellet amount 5 cm. Wind east 20 km/h gusting to 40 increasing to 40 gusting to 60 near noon. High zero c., 32 f. Tonight, ice pellets changing to snow at times heavy early this evening then to rain showers or flurries after midnight. Snow and ice pellet amount 10 to 15 cm. Wind northeast 40 km/h gusting to 60. Temperature rising to plus 2 c., 35.6 f., by morning.

The West end of the Island is forecast to get a total of 40 cms or better. As a precaution, English and French Schools on PEI are CLOSED for the day. Just hope the power stays on!

Already a number of closures, delays, etc. are beginning to be reported as a result of the impending storm: http://www.cbc.ca/news2/interactives/stormcentre/index.html?region=PE

Headed off to work today @6:15 AM (for a school district) The school kids were on a 2 hour delay as of 6:00. When I got to work (6:30) they updated it to a snow day. That means a free day off for me.
Happy Snow day,
Jim S.

I just took a quick picture outside of my Auto Shop at my school. It's chilly, but wet from the rain we've been getting and snow-free.

We don't have any snow to show off yet, but I saw something special on my after dinner walk here at work.
