Alberta clipper reinforces lake-effect snow as heavy rain targets southern California into the New Year

A surge of Arctic air, reinforced lake-effect snowfall, and an atmospheric river are forecast to affect large portions of the United States from December 31, 2025, into January 2, 2026. Heavy snow is expected downwind of the Great Lakes and across parts of the Northeast, while southern California faces a flash flood risk as an atmospheric river moves onshore around New Year’s Day. #weather #Albertaclipper #AR

So here in southern #Saskatchewan, we were predicted to get the " #Alberta #clipper " blizzard earlier today - the one that hammered #Edmonton (Hi, @Satori !). It didn't arrive when predicted. Instead we got freezing rain for most of the day, and then the storm rolled in after dinner tonight.

Because my neighbourhood is on the edge of town, in the direction of the prevailing winds, and because my street faces that direction, and I'm at the end of the cul-de-sac, the wind brings snow for miles, drives it down my street, and dumps it in my driveway. If a storm dumps 5cm of fresh snow, it is not uncommon for my driveway to be hip-deep in snow. [1]

Well, this storm is supposed to dump 10 to 20 cm by morning, with "potential higher local amounts".

So tomorrow I expect I will be spending several hours outside with the snowblower, trying to manhandle it around on a slope with a solid coating of ice under the snow. Sheesh.

[1] The day we moved into this place, as we're carrying boxes in, a neighbour came over to introduce themselves, but the first thing they said wasn't "Hello" or even their name. It was "You have a snowblower, right?" I thought it was funny, until the next two neighbours did exactly the same thing.

Today's Ontario-wide snow storm was all courtesy of Danielle Smith and her 'Alberta Clipper.' A slow-moving conservative weather system that rolled across the country.

The only fast-moving system conservatives believe in is the system of taking away your rights.

Just another reason to hate to hate Alberta.
