Moon’s up. As early as two weeks from now, there will be four humans blasting off earth to travel around it for the first time in >50 years for the Artemis II mission. Among them will be Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen.

SNOW DAY! Back to hibernating I go! www.smu.ca/alert/ #injimwetrust right @infinitelytara.bsky.social ❄️ ( @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social )

The weather models are so good, they are usually better than even looking out the window:-). Now all snow in Boston (watching Patriots game). Consistent predictions of heavy snow overnight... waking up to plows and cancellations! :-)

Fine start then patchy rain-snow mix this aftn turns to snow at times heavy tonight. Heaviest over NS and E PEI (15-30cm). Snow & gusty winds gradually ease off Monday morning. Sticky snow hard to shovel (but good for building a snowman). Expect cancellations & delays.

Fine start then patchy wet snow or rain develops this aftn; heavier this eve then moving out before Sunday dawn. Could be 10cm S NB at highest. Another system moves in Sunday evening; mixed precip changes to snow: heaviest ATL coast NS into CB. NS wakes up Monday to 10-20cm+ wet snow.

Back to regularly scheduled Wednesday night programming. Wings and preparing to lose at Stranger Things trivia!

Had the cutest visitors this afternoon!

Heads-up to anyone commuting today - MacDonald Bridge is closed in both directions (as of 0800). Transit is rerouting over the MacKay. Shout out to my favourite bus driver who let us know! @hfxtransit.bsky.social #hfxtraffic

Peak wind gust measured so far by the weather station at Burke-Gaffney Observatory (at ~90m elevation) is 127 km/hr! Windy windy windy #nswx

Congestion Solution? How about a third bridge but for people who know how to drive?

Absolutely devastated 💔 Colleen was such a role model growing up. Always the funniest, kindest human when we crossed paths.

Woody The Talking Tree has awakened from his slumber to usher in another Christmas season. While he may seem slightly unsettling, all Woody asks for is Cinnabon sacrifices. But where did he come from? This is the story of Woody The Talking Tree. 🧵1/6

A couple of rainfall maps illustrating the variability: lots of folks missed out on significant rains. There were a couple reports higher than 50mm in thunderstorms in the Margaree Valley CB and Glencoe PEI (between Charlottetown & Montague). The 137mm in Dingwall looks suspicious.

The last time Nova Scotia, southern NB & PEI saw a substantial widespread rainfall was 2 months ago, June 7-8th, with 25-40+ mm. This departure from average map *includes* that rain & yet the deficit estimate over the past 60 days is still nearing or exceeding 100 mm for many. #nswx #nbwx #halisky

There has been a lot of online chatter about the current condition of Sullivan's Pond as residents and park users have noticed the incredibly low water and odour of the iconic Dartmouth park

Adventures in food the past few days! ☕️🍰🥖🧀

This was the coolest!! 🥌

Heja Sverige!
