This low has a defined hook-and-eye appearance on the radar. Not likely accompanied with high winds though - just rain

As a Canadian, this is NOT funny at all. I thought my dislike for the US had hit an upper limit, but every time the TACO man and his cronies do something like this, my anger towards the US goes up another level. #Never51

Trump removed Maduro from power but is refusing to recognize Venezuela's democratically elected president as the new president. Trump only wants to swap out an anti-American dictator with a pro-Trump dictator in Venezuela so he can take their oil.

Very cold temperatures - early morning Monday and Tuesday model forecast: #pewx #nswx

So Trump just said the United States is now going to run Venezuela, and the US oil companies are going to run their oil industry. What the fuck.... #elbowsup #boycottusa #FuckTacoTrump #canadastrong #CanadaSky #never51state #canadaunited #political

I just did my yearly summary for 2025's weather at the Halifax airport and it was (since 1961)... 🧵 *Coolest year overall since 2019 (7.37C), but still 13th warmest on record *7th warmest spring (5.7C) *12th warmest fall (10.23C) *Least rainy since 2001 (878.8 mm)... #NSwx #HaliSky

Trump's regime has murdered people in the water. He has seized ships on the high seas. He has invaded a country and kidnapped their leader. All bets are off with the United States. Canada needs to build alliances with Europe and to be ready on the home front.

My final post on Bluesky in 2025 will be: weather! After the weekend system, it looks like the first week of 2026 will be quite cold across Atlantic Canada, but the global ensembles suggest that there will be a significant warm-up for the second week. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLStorm

Quiet New Years Eve, but turning unsettled for New Years Day across the region. Incoming system will bring a mix of snow & rain on Thursday & Thursday night, with gusty winds ushering in colder temps thru Friday & into the weekend. Details here: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #nsstorm #nbstorm #halisky

For those traveling, after the mixed messy precipitation later tomorrow, it will turn cold on Friday... so roads may be icy. The weekend outlook suggests only passing brief snow (storm missing us); so hopefully relatively good travel weather as the holiday season closes.

There’s an impressive signal amongst multiple model suites for a potentially intense polar low (PL) to form north of Norway this week — ECMWF (left) & GFS (right) show a sub-985 hPa PL. Short thread on polar lows:

🇨🇦🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: We want peace, Putin doesn't want peace. He’s a man of war.

As forecast, the weak system that gave a few flurries to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia has bombed out into a powerful nor'easter, heading for Newfoundland. The winds west of the centre are near hurricane-force, but they'll weaken before the storm approaches land. #NSStorm #NBStorm #NLStorm #PEStorm

This is NGC 2264, also called the "Christmas Tree Cluster." It's a cluster of young stars about 2,500 light years away. They were 'born' during the Pliocene Epoch (2-5 MYA), about the same time as early hominids like Ardipithecus or Homo habilis, so they're barely older than humanity. 🎄💫🔭

Merry Christmas! Sharing some maps to plan any holiday travel. Roads most likely to become snow covered in western half of Maritimes today. Then a mostly fine stretch; although, the CB highlands seem likely to have some snow (not heavy) everyday :-). A warm up then cool down Monday-Tuesday.

Watching a weak system over New Brunswick this morning that's slowly moving south and east throughout the day. It likely gave parts of northern NB a "perfect" Christmas (snow falling at 7 AM on Christmas Day). For parts of western NS, it will drop 2-5 cm of snow in the afternoon. #NSwx #NBwx

Meanwhile, to our south...that's quite the impressive heatwave across nearly the entire contiguous U.S.!

Winter Solstice: not too wintry today; mild with a few rain showers. Travel outlook: some onshore snow N NS & Cape Breton Monday-Tuesday. Big storm Wednesday may clip south & western areas with snow/wind? Just patchy light snow Christmas Day. Onshore snow boxing Day E NS & PEI. not bad.. take care.

1. found data that suggests nothing as bad last winter (see below). 2. the historical outage data should be easily found. 3. rather than 'yellow", the warning should have been "orange" (likely significant damage) 4. maybe ECCC & NSPI could jointly use historical data to better predict impacts (AI)

Still 150K outages in NS-NB; peak gust was 119km/h at YHZ. Chilly west breeze today eases off with spotty showers/flurries. Outlook charts to consider any travel plans. Apart from onshore snow/flurries off Gulf Mon-Tues, a storm moves off the eastern seaboard passing south NS Wednesday. Hit or miss?

This is a 9-inch tree that got pushed over tearing up approximately 16inches worth of roots from the ground too (took a photo but it’s too blurry sorry). Now this is a shallow rooted tree but still impactful. #nswx @ryansnoddon.bsky.social @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social

That was quite the wind storm! Widespread gusts were in the 70 to 100 km/h range in much of the Maritimes but a number gusts upwards and in excess of 120 km/h were recorded, including 122 km/h in Eskasoni, N.S., and 135 km/h on Grand Manan in N.B. #NSStorm #NBStorm #PEStorm

Taking a look at the max wind gusts so far. Plenty of readings over 100 km/h, especially inland, which no doubt contributed to 54k outages in Nova Scotia. The winds should start to diminish from west to east over the next few hours. #NSStorm

6pm update: Rain bands becoming more widespread. Strong winds causing outages, especially between Halifax and Truro. take care this evening... nasty travel

A fine day today (patchy am icy spots). Friday starts with patchy light drizzle then rain & wind increases intensity during day peaking in the evening. Southerly peak gusts 80-100km/h will cause some outages & flying blowup Santas late Friday. Pooling water from rain & melt. Clearing & colder Sat.

Warmer temperatures build into the region on Wednesday coupled with gusty southwest winds. However, much warmer temperatures come in for the end of the week but with rain and another round of strong southerly winds. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Nope. The only thing AI can do is recycle old ideas. It is a form of enhanced pattern recognition, not true intelligence. #EPRnotAI

Canada’s defence minister responds to Trump’s new National Security Strategy Must read!!! ‼️‼️ Trump is a national security threat to Canada! /1 thread www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

The United States and Russia have officially formed an alliance against Europe, Ukraine, and Canada.

When it comes to wintry weather, the Maritimes has certainly dipped a toe into the water with chilly temperatures and snow. However, Old Man Winter is about to push us into the pool head first — and the water will be frigid. My latest here: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #nsstorm #nbstorm #halisky

What troubles me most is not that they are lying after being involved in a war crime but that 1) the US military remains silent when a probable war crime took place, and 2) this scuttles the hope some Canadians had that Trump's military would disobey illegal orders against Canada.

Two comments on the alleged "double tap" of a drug boat by the US military. 1. It's in the DoD War Manual that it is illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal" 2. Trump and Hegseth both say they did not issue an order to kill survivors. I simply do not believe them.

After today's rain, plenty of freezing of remaining moisture/puddles/etc tonight with low temps well below zero - coldest of the season so far for many in the map area: #nswx #pewx . Halifax urban area -5 to -9C.

So many stunning images from the 2025 hurricane season, but this pass into Category 5 Melissa's eye by Air Force Hurricane Hunters on October 27th might be the most breathtaking I've ever seen. (video via FlynonymousWX on X)

Looking at the possible #snow storm on #Wednesday for #NovaScotia. We know: there will be a fairly potent low-pressure system then. We don't know: 1) Where exactly will it track? 2) How deep will the cold air be? This matters A LOT for who gets snow and who gets rain. #NSwx #NBwx #NLwx #PEwx

If you have seen the potential #snow storm for Wednesday in Atlantic Canada in the model runs, and want a deeper dive into what's going on here, Tomer's analysis is worth a read. It's centered on New England, but the big picture is the same. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #HaliSky

Yes, I did see the overnight model runs for next Wednesday, and no, I'm not going to post them. It's too far out to be certain of anything: at this time range, all I can say is that there's a chance that the first major snowfall of the season for N.S. will be around that time. #NSwx #HaliSky

That's bullying! Please, Zelenskyy, if by some miracle you are reading this... DO NOT agree! #TrumpIsATraitor And for us Canadians, let's get the #Gripen ASAP and reject the #F16 deal. I'd trust Sweden far more than the USA under tRump. #ElbowsUp

Confirmed world record. #Hurricane #Melissa produced a wind gust reading of 252mph. A Hurricane Hunter dropsonde recorded this gust at 657 feet above the sea, breaking the old record of Typhoon Megi (248 mph in 2010). #wx

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble. A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments. We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Fine today. Teens in much of the south & west. Rain (snow at first parts NB) develops tonight. Rain at times heavy Mon night-Tues & strong SE winds Fundy & Atl coasts. Models are indicating chances over 100mm (flooding) along Atl coast. (EU has risk over S Shore. CDN has risk E shore-CB). Stay tuned

Here's our #bomb cyclone just south of Cape Breton. Looks pretty powerful, and it's about 4-5 hours away from reaching peak intensity. #NLStorm

Significant wind and, for some, rain on tap early-mid week. Full update on the system including timing and amounts, plus the potential for a couple of other disturbances here: facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

View of the 'weather complex' bringing rain to eastern Canada and hurricane conditions offshore with 'Melissa' racing NE'ward. #nswx #nlwx #pewx #nbwx

Morning model runs for #MELISSA. There's a good chance that the centre of the storm makes landfall in Eastern Newfoundland, but it's not a lock. If the storm remains offshore, impacts will be mostly rain across Atlantic Canada, but a landfall could bring high winds to the Avalon. #NLStorm #NSStorm
