Up to 85 cm has fallen since Nov. 25, double the monthly average for all of November, says Environment Canada
Volunteer weather observers at two stations in Sault Ste. Marie state that 35 to 40 centimetres of snow fell on the city from Thursday night to Friday morning, Environment Canada says.Lake effect snow squalls will continue Friday night through Saturday night.
“We anticipate at least another 60 centimetres, perhaps even more,” Brad Rousseau, Environment Canada meteorologist told SooToday late Friday afternoon. The lake effect snow the city is facing means that snow accumulation will seem greater in some areas of the city compared to others.“What I can tell you is usually for this time of year the normal average snowfall for November in Sault Ste. Marie is 41 centimetres so you’re certainly well above your average. Is that a record? I cannot confirm that, but it is a lot of snow. You’re almost double your average."“For Sunday, things look to relax for you.
He estimated 10 to 20 centimetres of snow will fall beginning Tuesday and into Wednesday of next week. Rousseau said additional snow will come during active weather up to and including the week of Dec. 9.
