More snow on the way!
An Alberta Clipper brings shovelable snow mid-week.
Snow spreads in west to east Wednesday with a slow/snowy afternoon-evening commute. Snow tapers overnight for most, lingers into Thursday in the east.
10–20 cm for Nova Scotia with 5–10 cm, southern NB.
Stay tuned.

Thank you #CBC for your reporting and investigation. Shame on anyone (or political party) wanting to defund them. Please listen.

Oh joy - the possibility of another dump of snow on #NovaScotia on Sunday into Monday (it's become a pattern). Nothing certain, so watch the forecast from reputable sources. #NSStorm #xp

Lots of buzz about yet another Sunday into Monday storm.
And yes, while it's still a long way out, it's looking more and more likely that parts of the Maritimes may be digging out again early next week.
Here's what we know... and what we don't know.

There is a nasty storm coming up from the US that will make things unpleasant here for a few days. I wish the other fallout from that country was as short-lived. #xp #NSStorm

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

You should probably avoid driving this morning if you don't have to (my words).

Looks like it may be a #NSStorm sort of Monday.

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.

Luckily after "Truth and Lies" the list of suspects has been narrowed #TheArchers
he image shows a somber, staged scene set outdoors at dusk or nighttime, with a line of people standing on what looks like a dark road or path beside open fields. In the background, there’s a distant town or neighborhood with warm yellow streetlights glowing under a cloudy, moody sky. There are ten people arranged in a line from left to right, spanning different ages—from a teenager to elderly adults. Most of them stand upright, close together, facing forward, while one man at the far right is crouching, separated slightly from the rest. The group appears quiet and tense, with serious or downcast expressions. No one is smiling. Everyone is dressed for cold weather: heavy jackets, coats, scarves, hats, and boots. The clothing is mostly muted—greens, browns, grays, and dark blues—adding to the bleak tone. Several of the people in the middle of the line are holding glass bottles (likely alcohol), gripped close to their chests or stomachs. The crouching man on the right wears a dark jacket and jeans; his posture suggests distress or deep thought, with elbows resting on his knees and hands clasped. The overall mood is grim and reflective. The stillness of the figures, their rigid postures, and their serious faces suggest grief, tension, or anticipation. The lighting emphasizes contrast: the figures are clearly lit in the foreground, while the background remains soft and distant, reinforcing a sense of isolation. The lineup composition and the shared stillness give the image a cinematic, almost theatrical quality, as if capturing a moment just before or after a significant event. The line of people, the bottles, and the separated crouching figure suggest themes like shared burden, community tension, loss, or guilt. The rural setting and empty space around them amplify the feeling of loneliness and emotional weight. Overall, the image feels deliberately composed to tell a serious, emotionally heavy story rather than capture a casual or candid moment.
