I hope that these meetings are actually about meeting-worthy topics at least. It's annoying to have a 30 minute meeting which is nothing more than an email read out loud.

Adjectives fail. Above Tuscon AZ, the strength of the predicted upper-level high (big red blob at left) is typical for late June.
In late May, it would be record-breaking early.
The European model ensemble suggests a high this strong (and hot) will arrive next week, around the first day of spring.
No such thing as too much profanity when talking about the orange bully.
Not this again.... these threats against Canada's sovereignty aren't funny and are rather concerning, honestly. I REFUSE to be a part of any 51st state or US colony. Thanks for reminding me why I'm continuing to give the US the cold shoulder, Mr. Taco.
Current max temperatures for Mar 10 as of 3:15 PM, with three stations, one near Bridgewater, two near Windsor, crossing 20C. Several other inland stations reached the high teens.
And there we go: two stations near Windsor, along with Bridgewater, crossed 20C! First time in 2026, which unofficially makes this a summer day in those locations. I wonder how warm they will ultimately get?

Daily high temperatures via Cape Breton Mesonet as of 3 PM. Many weather stations inland have reached into the high teens, with the highest two reaching 19.8C.
Today's high temperatures, via the Cape Breton Mesonet. Inland, there are lots of temps that reached into the high teens, which brings the question: could we get our first 20C temperature of 2026?? We're very close, and there's still time for temps to rise further....

That's one very impressive ridge over the Southwest US. No wonder there were very few warm spells this winter in Atlantic Canada.
Didn't the orange overconfident TACO famously say this to Zelenskyy?
βYou're right now, not in a very good position. You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now with us.β
And guess what happened a year later? Zelenskyy didn't need cards: he had drone interception technology.
Time series plot depicting predicted Nino 3.4 region ocean temperature anomalies from the latest (Mar 2026) ECMWF ensemble. It depicts an extremely rapid rise in such temperatures, from modest negative anomalies to strong positive anomalies, by mid-summer 2026--indicative of a transition from weak-moderate La Nina conditions to moderate-strong El Nino conditions over just a few months.
Whew.
All signs are increasingly pointing to a significant, if not strong to very strong, El NiΓ±o event. I'll have more to say in coming weeks & months, but for now I'll just say that this is increasingly likely to become a major regional-to-global climate driver in 2026-2027.
When it drops, I will be sure to play it on my YouTube channel. That is, as soon as my work schedule allows it.
Folks, I'm actually feeling pretty good about this province right now π
Thank you! #HoustonTheHorrible #HoustonFail
My favourite is Hopeless Rescue, followed by Whiteout.
It would be cool if we had a version of Hopeless Rescue which started at the Weather Station, or if Whiteout used a random safehouse each time from a list like this:
*Quonset
*PV Farm
*Camp Office
*Hunting Lodge
*Grey Mother's
*Hibernia
etc
I have to agree with this.
This is what Carney SHOULD have said. How did he get it so wrong?
There's a really warm airmass heading our way next weekend, but I'm not sure whether the warmth will reach the surface or whether there will be a lot of cold air damming near the surface resulting in cold, gloomy, drizzly weather...or freezing rain.
Ugh... here's the usa, AGAIN launching an illegal invasion. How is this different from russia invading Ukraine and occupying Georgia?
The usa, israel, and russia are all rogue states and a major threat to world peace. Let's keep those #ElbowsUp and boycott them all.
We saw what happened to the last government who tried this in New Brunswick.
Looking at the 12Z EPS (the story is similar on the CMC and GFS ensembles), it looks like we'll have a tumultuous temperature ride over the next couple weeks, from mid-January cold in the 1st week of March to a taste of spring in the 2nd week. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx
Some sun in the Maritimes Wednesday, but a quick round of snow Wednesday night with 1-5 cm, pockets of 5-10 cm. Scattered flurries linger for Newfoundland, the snow then comes in Thursday. The full update: facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #halisky
An initial look at snowfall measurements. Thanks to the CoCoRaHS volunteers: not easy to measure the depth and water content. The 19cm at my place contains 26mm of water which was followed by about 10mm rain/freezing rain. Ugh.
The US boy's hockey team seemed to have a haughty and arrogant attitude towards their fans after at least one game (while the Canadian men's team shook their fan's hands), so I'm not surprised.
Thankfully the US women's team had the resolve to say "NO!" after they were belittled by orange TACO.
Some very impressive snowfall totals state-side! Lots of 30+ cm reports, with some pushing 80 cm.
Reports of thunder snow on the South Shore! Lightning was detected not along ago east of Liverpool to the south of Cape LaHave Island. #NSStorm #NSwx
I watched the whole thing.
=Nor'easter to bring snow & strong winds for Monday=
Our latest Norβeaster will bring significant snowfall & gusty winds which will likely lead to travel delays, cancellations and also bring the risk for power outages.

Where things become a lot less certain is in eastern Nova Scotia along the coast, where the snow will turn to rain.
The further north the system tracks, the more snow the US gets, and sooner the transition to rain occurs there.
A few km north/south make a big difference here. #NSStorm #NBStorm
I don't think I will ever be able to trust the U.S. until ICE and the MAGA movement is completely disbanded.
Yeah sure, they might elect a reasonable Democrat president in 2028, but if the MAGA movement remains strong, who's to say they'll remain reasonable in 2032?
ICON dynamic snowfall map shows a wide swath of heavy snow of 30+ cm over much of the US coastline from Chesapeake Bay northwards, extending into New Brunswick and Southwest Nova Scotia. The snow near the Avalon Peninsula is from a separate system.
ECMWF dynamic snowfall map shows a wide swath of heavy snow of 30+ cm over much of the US coastline from Chesapeake Bay northwards, with pickets reaching 60 cm. The snow extending into southern New Brunswick, with up to 30 cm there, and Southwest Nova Scotia, with up to 20 cm. The snow near the Avalon Peninsula is from a separate system.
Canadian dynamic snowfall map shows a wide swath of heavy snow of 20-30+ cm over much of the US coastline from Chesapeake Bay northwards, extending into southern New Brunswick and western/northern Nova Scotia. It doesn't show much over Cape Breton and eastern NS. The snow near the Avalon Peninsula is from a separate system.
GFS dynamic snowfall map shows a wide swath of heavy snow of 30+ cm over much of the US coastline from Chesapeake Bay northwards and pockets of 60+ cm, with totals of 30+ cm extending into southern New Brunswick and Southwest Nova Scotia. The snow near the Avalon Peninsula is from a separate system.
The #nor'easter currently developing off the coast of Cape Hatteras looks to be a historic snowstorm for the northeast US, with widespread areas of 30+cm and pockets potentially reaching 60+cm.
This is a #WhiteJuan level event for them: if I lived there, I wouldn't travel anywhere anytime soon.(1/x)
Based on my chemistry experience, I would say the major components are:
*microplastics (tires)
*brake dust (brakes)
*traction sand (de-icing)
*carbon (unburned fuel)
*platinum/palladium/rhodium (cat converters)
*bits of roadway surface
