There are some consistencies in snowfall forecasts for late Tuesday thru Wednesday:
- the Atlantic coast most likely to have a rain mix; so lower snowfalls
- high ground over the South Mountain (Ann Valley) & N NS most likely to have higher snowfalls.
- wet snow not as deep, but is heavy!
Still TBD

After the Elmsdale tree lighting, I went to grab a hot chocolate at the Tim Hortons in Enfield. While waiting for my mobile order a family from BC was there who had only just moved to East Hants two years ago. They were waiting for their order after being served at the cash.

Taking me a low-key day today with a bit of a migraine happening, but I do have to go see mom to drop off some stuff, but that’s probably as far as I will go. Outside of the one video I have to do this afternoon
