Very Warm

It is still very mild here on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.I have a temp of +17°C on my thermometer this afternoon.That’s right,plus 17 Celcius which is almost 70°F ! I’ll bet a lot of you thought that Canada was cold and snowy most of the time.It is also very calm and somewhat foggy here today.

Last evening we had some rain and a bit of wind…..of course,the power went out for about an hour.That seems to happen a lot here.Maybe NSP should take some of the rate increase revenue and repair / replace the old wires rather than just patch them.

We are expecting the warm weather to last until Wednesday and then it’s back to more normal conditions with Thursday possibly being a little below the seasonal norm.

So,the ‘yo-yo’ temps are continuing.

Still Mild

After a couple of very warm and sunny days we are going to have some rain.The temp is still mild and is at +12°C currently.There isn’t any rain yet but it is quite breezy and damp.Thunderstorms are also a possibility for tonight. There are lots of leaves dropping in my backyard today:



The warm air is expected to last until Tuesday and then it will be clearing and cooling somewhat.

Cold - Warm - Cold - ?

Well,I haven’t had much time to pound out an entry lately but I thought I’d better get an update on here this morning while I could. The weather has been going up and down like a yo-yo here.Monday was a cold and windy day,yesterday was warm and sunny and today we are back to cold.It is only about 8°C here this morning and overcast and windy.There were flurries forecast for us for earlier in the week for today but that has been revised to none.However,parts of New England,not far from here,are either getting or have already had some snow activity.This is not a snowstorm but any kind of snow at this time of the year is a little out of the norm. Our weather is expected to improve over the next few days and we should be getting back to more normal temps.Normal for here at this time of the year is 11°C according to Environment Canada.

FROST!!!

It’s a very cool +2°C here this morning and there was a frost overnight.That’s the first one for our area this Autumn.Temps are expected to remain cool through the weekend with a slight warm up and rain next week.

Warm and No Rain

It’s another warm day here on the South Shore,temp near 20°C,and the rain hasn’t happened…yet.Currently it is quite cloudy and the radar is showing the rain is in the NW of NS.Some may move in here later but it looks like most of it will miss us.It is also very calm here.
All for now.

Still Staying Warm

We are having awesome weather here on the east coast.It has been warm and fairly dry…temps reached the lower 20s here on my thermometer this afternoon.Apparently that is about to change with a chance of rain tomorrow and Friday and then cooler temps moving in for the weekend.Thankfully…and hopefully…we won’t get anything like central Canada has had recently.They have had freezing temps and SNOW!!! It’s way too early for that.Especially for this area.
On another front,there is a large hurricane,named Omar,in the Caribbean and it is moving NE.The current track has it coming within 900 or so miles from our shores as it travels across the ocean.The UK may get some of it in about 6 days.

Thanksgiving Day '08

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians!!
This morning we are getting a little rain and it’s quite a bit cooler today after some really nice weather on the weekend. You couldn’t ask for a nicer day than we had yesterday,with temps near 20°C,and this photo I took while out fishing says it all:



This week is expected to be cool with temps in the seasonal range.Daytime highs are normally 13°C at this time of the year.
