Pouring Rain to Heavy Snow in 20 Minutes - Driving in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Part 2: • Driving in a Halifax S...
Here is a drive from downtown to the Lacewood area in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I'm uploading this because the weather really changed really quickly. It went from pouring rain to heavy snowfall in less than 20 minutes. You see the transition from water, to sleet, to freezing rain, to flurries, and finally heavy snow.

No Music??? EXCELLENT!

Mr lube what the fuck

[@LivingWalks]

Quite agree Mark, so pleasing without it.

[@AmyAnnLand]

I love your video. No talking, no music and excellent driving. I hope you are able to post more.

[@CptSchmidt]

Thank you :D

[@occamsrazor7939]

I really enjoyed that ride along.

[@annconwell7622]

Love that city!!

[@HeadlessChickenTO]

This happens once in a while here in Toronto, it really catches people off guard. I once tried to make it to my garage to get my winter tires installed (they were stored there) and suddenly the temp dropped after some light rain that turned to icy roads. Luckily I made it but just barely but now I have them changed out mid October.

[@jbmbassin6798]

3:18 the rain suddenly turns to snow. That happens a lot where i live too, especially in the fall and spring.

[@RogerWittekind]

Yep and I had to turn the brightness up on my phone to see that.

[@thegorn68]

Just watching this makes me cold and I have to get under the covers.

[@romevicki1]

Thanks for the ride in the rain.....I enjoyed it very much.....love rain and snow.

[@marynichols438]

Thanks for taking us on the drive with you. Totally enjoyed it. Thank you for not having any annoying background music. I have driven many times in weather like this in Cleveland, Ohio.

[@MrAlsfan5]

From Halifax to Montreal, to Kingston to Winnipeg and on to Vancouver, typical weather in Canada from November to April.

[@CR7GOATofFootball]

I wish it snowed where I live.

That happens a lot in Denver in the spring time. It's 60 degrees, rain starts, the temp drops, twenty minutes later it's snowing.

[@11xr1east]

good job with the driving skills. it takes time to learn how to drive in that weather without hitting a pedestrian or another vehicle.

[@AmyAnnLand]

How do you stop from hitting pedestrians? I've never been able to hone that skill.

[@jennadune8701]

I feel like this is sarcasm..

[@LivingWalks]

We have been so inspired by slow tv channels that we now make natural sound 4k walk through's of cities. Channels such as yours are a really important antidote to the muzak filled, personality driven, fast pace ofmany travel video's on youtube, so thank you, I will certainly be back for more.

This is my sleep video for tonight, after I watch it to the end and no one gets hurt.

[@screamingmimi90]

7:06 Interesting useless fact: in the US, Honda dealerships have blue signs. Toyota has red. 9:37 Ah... the “wintry mix.” 15:04 I’ve only driven in freezing rain once. I never want to do it again. You’re a very good driver.☺️

[@terrimabrey93]

This was soothing. Appreciated

[@j42927]

Stunning video! I love winter, I always wanted to see the snow, though my home country is a tropical one (Brazil)😅 . It's really rare the temperature fall below 42°F in my city...

Very nice video. I've always loved cold weather and snow, particularly since I'm in the hot, humid, uncomfortable tropical type climate of the U.S. gulf coast. Very rarely get to see beautiful snowfall. A quite relaxing video thankfully without music !! Thanks for posting.☺☺👍👍

[@hanmaenen7337]

I love winter and it is always good to see warm air kicked out with a lot of action.

[@centuryrox]

I live in Baltimore, MD, and historically we're right in the transition zone between rain and snow. Many times, you can drive just north of the city and go from rain to heavy snow in just a mile or two. At one time when I lived in northern Baltimore County, and worked in the southern part of the county, I couldn't make it in to work one day because I had well over a foot of snow on the ground, while there was still green grass on the ground at work! Of course, my coworkers didn't believe snow was the reason why I couldn't come to work!

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

wow! good driving :-)

[@ildibaba11]

This is once happened in nighttime at Calgary, it was downpouring at 8:00, then at 10 it turned into snow. It got so heavy that a whole sheet of snow fell everywhere when we were on the highway.

[@meredithbenjamin6694]

No accidents? Awesome! And everyone drives nice there. I liked riding with you. You drive really good.thanks for the ride.

After all that your final destination is MR LUBE.....😂

[@AmyAnnLand]

I love your profile pic.

[@alanmorr3635]

What is Mr. Lube?, horrible day but a great video, of course, the higher you go the colder it gets. I live near Glasgow in Scotland where it is at sea level but where I live is 300 feet above sea level and like in the video the weather can change, many a time I have left Glasgow in rain and like in the video it was all white with snow by the time I got home.

[@dianalee681]

[@starguard4122]

Its weather like this that makes you really appreciate a good running vehicle.. and to pray for those that don't have one

[@JW-th4nn]

It looked a bit sleety even in Halifax itself. Amazing how quick precipitation changes in a matter of miles/kms.

[@andrewhowden5826]

Your luck with taffc lights is as good as mine!!!!

[@gameya100]

This is a glorious comment. I can't stop laughing.

[@junethomas5143]

I love snow when Christmas comes and New year's it's more like the holidays.

[@KJ-ATexan]

Excellent driving. I remember a milder version happening of this in December 2017 in my part of Texas (and a rare snow day at that) and it went from rain to snow in a very short period of time. Drivers lost their ever loving marbles... suffice to say they definitely didn't have your experience for this scenario.

[@altfactor]

Once the car reached the Dartmouth exit, the rain had turned to snow!

[@phillipboothe4611]

Great drive.

[@JW-th4nn]

This happens often where I live in North Wales, UK in winter where when you're at the coast it usually rains or sleets with temperatures around 37-41 degrees, snow doesn't occur that often there, especially West Wales. You only need to head a few miles (even sometimes as little as 2-3 miles from the coast) inland to higher ground to witness substantial difference in precipitation, esp. since we're in close proximity to Snowdonia.

[@normanbyler8556]

it's Nova Scotia, what do you expect this time of year! lol

[@AmyAnnLand]

30C, clear, sunny and dry. How else would it be?

[@ZhanaDiL.87]

beautiful city❤

[@pinkrose5796]

Rather mesmerizing in a nice calm manner. Looks like you're a courteous driver and appears you drive with both hands on the wheel:) Better control of your car if you have to stop or swerve for any reason without rolling over your vehicle. Weather definitely changed quickly! Stay safe!

@ 18.46 J.A. Snow Funeral Homes 0 degrees - classic sign in a snow storm

[@hebneh]

Yeah, I immediately noticed that too. The temperature being just at freezing explains the mix of rain and snow.

[@yll481]

Yes! A video

[@MitchWestWeather]

From looking at the video, it looked more like a transition from heavy rain to heavy wet snow. Deff no freezing rain involved.

[@CptSchmidt]

Freezing rain begins 9-11 minutes and gradually transitions to heavy snow that brought about 20cm to the city. You can see the rest of this video under the title, "Driving in a Halifax Snowstorm - Highway 102 to Downtown."

[@mousetreehouse6833]

This is an impressive amount of snow considering Halifax is right on the water.

[@gkiltz0]

Summer street on a really crappy winter day I see the irony there Same as here in Virginia, the flip to snow is usually almost instant!! Wet slushy snow is the WORST! Slicker than deer guts on a doorknob! I guess people drive different when they know where they're going! Around here you see a Canadian Plate and they are either blindly following the GPS or hopelessly confused. and they have no idea how to "Think VDOT" Don't expect that, because it's not easy even for us and we live it!!

So snow accumulates on wet ground?

It sure can.

This actually starts to happen quickly. Snow drops start becoming visible after 2 minutes into the video. The precip becomes decisively snowier after 5 minutes. The changeover does not complete until you are well into the suburbs.
