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

I’m out here in Hammonds Plain. This is a 4inch diameter tree that snapped at the base from last nights wind storm. Also another tree near it had multiple layers of bark blown right off of it. #nswx #halisky

Weekend update: After Friday’s snow squalls, the Maritimes see a quieter weekend.
Breezy Sat with some sun; flurries linger for CB.
Flurries return Sunday, turning to snow in the evening.
Uncertainty remains, but disruptive 5–15 cm looks possible for much of Nova Scotia by Mon Eve. Stay tuned.

More snow and cold to start this week in the Maritimes!
Incoming clipper will bring snow tonight into Monday, impacting the morning commute for most and the aft commute in the east.
5 to 15 cm snow for NS - highest totals across the north.
NW winds kick up & usher in another very chill air mass.

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.

Many in New Brunswick saw a glowing spiral in the sky last night — not aliens, but the Ariane 6 rocket venting fuel high above Earth! 🌌
Tune in to Shift NB on CBC Radio One between 4:00–4:15 p.m. to hear how this stunning phenomenon lit up our skies.

Heavy rain + winds howling like werewolves for Halloween.
The good news is, many folks will see the heaviest rain ending BEFORE the kids head out trick or treating.

Per Jeremy, the Hurricane Hunters had to leave early, but still "captured some historic data including the 893mb center drop, cementing #Melissa as the 3rd most intense hurricane on record in the Atlantic. Mission for the ages."
I was worried for my crew mates when I saw them circling in the eye for over 20 mins. Looks like the very rough ride was confirmed. Plane had to leave early. They reported svr turb and a "sawtooth" eye. Looks like they moved 600-700ft up & down during this stretch in ~1 min.

Busy forecast this Eve.
Rain continues tonight into Tuesday morning in the Maritimes with heavy amounts locally.
Plus the latest on Hurricane Melissa and how it may 'indirectly'
impact our Halloween weather.
