Winter 2018-2019 was cooler and wetter than climate normals. Is spring 2019 predicted to have the same conditions?
Please see attached for the detailed winter 2018-2019 report and an outlook for spring 2019, courtesy of Jill Maepea, Environment and Cliate Change Canada.
February 2019 was colder than normal across the province. However, precipitation was near normal but there was a good mix of sites that were above normal and sites that were below normal that resulted in the province being near normal.
Just to make you feel better about the wind and cold, you might enjoy a couple of videos about weather observers atop Mount Washington. Have fun!
January had above normal precipitation, but temperatures were near climate normals. Due the fact that January was wet, snow pack (especially for the northern part of the province) continued to grow…

December ended 2018 by being generally drier and colder than normal. It was a much calmer month than November.

UPDATED: Now contains summary for September, October and November, with outlook for December, January and February
If you already didn’t know, November 2018 was cold and wet; a repeat of October. As a result of being wet and cold, November was also stormy and windy. See all the details in the attached final report for fall and the outlook for winter (updated).
Here is a summary of the wind and rainfall for New Brunswick during November 2-4 as provided by Jill Maepea, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada.
In a nutshell, October was cool and slightly wet (with the exception of the north which remained dry).
October was cool enough for unseasonably early snowfalls to accumulate for various parts of the province (not just the north!) in the second half of the month.

From Jill Maepea, Environment and Climate Change Canada:
The above normal temperatures from July and August were replaced by temperatures near normal for September. September was also dry as precipitation for the month was below to well below normal.
See all the details in the attached final report for September and the outlook for fall.
From Jill Maepea of Environment and Climate Change Canada, here is the August review with an outlook for fall.
August mimicked July very closely with hot and humid conditions prevailing across the province. The main exception was a bit more precipitation mainly in the form of thunderstorms and showers (some of which were severe).
