This has been my view for 5 days now, we had northeast wind on Monday after that backdoor front came through and the smoke was unbearable. Thankfully the wind has been blowing from southwest to northeast the majority of the time. Looking like a good soaking of rain coming this weekend and beyond so hopefully that will put an end to this monster finally. Picture was yesterday afternoon. Around 20,000 hectares has burned so far making this the biggest wildfire in known history in NS.

I’m right in the thick of it here, it has been a nightmare to say the least..

It’s the same fire, it’s just flared up. It dies down through the night then gets back going again as the sun come up and wind strengthens.

You guys can keep the dry nice weather, we need rain desperately in southern Nova Scotia. There is currently several large forest fires in the area with the biggest down my way. Multiple properties have been burnt to the ground already and it’s still raging as of this morning. Based on visible satellite some of the smoke is making its way down toward Cape Cod this morning.

Nope sorrel doesn’t grow deep roots, it’s makes runner roots just below the soil that sprout new plants. If you miss a piece of root it will just grow a new plant. Easy to pull up anyways. I find like you said they like to take over around plants with nice amended soils. Sure beats goutweed any day, that stuff is a nightmare.

This is Sorrel, it is an absolute nightmare to get out of your garden beds as the roots spread like crazy. If you miss one little piece or root it just reprouts again. Best of luck.

Still dumping here, hard to tell how much I have with the drifting but it has to be 12+ inches at this point.

Absolutely pouring snow here in southern Nova Scotia. It moved in around 8 am this morning and we’ve already got around 4 or more inches down. Could squeak out a foot with this one I think.

Been lurking on this board for nearly 15 years now. Way back to when it was named Easternuswx I believe was the name. Yup that corridor has been smoked all winter long ! We have done better here than most of SNE but still a good 15-20 inches below normal so far.

Around 7 inches and counting here on the southernmost tip of Nova Scotia. Nice fluffy stuff !

Wicked snowsquall activity here in the southwest tip of Nova Scotia. Temperature just dipped below 0F with windchill at -33F.

Surfs up here in Nova Scotia !

Wouldn’t take make of a shift west to get this into Halifax, I wonder how far this can actually come west ? It was over St, Johns a few days ago now both the 0z Euro and Canadian have this landfalling on the Eastern Shore around Canso.

I have one also, it’s a Kyushu paniculata. I have a video with at least 100 bees plus a wide array of other insects having an orgy on it. My other paniculata varieties don’t attract nearly as much attention.

Talk about big flakes, I’m getting golfball sized flakes here right now. Never see anything like it ! Slow motion video to try and get them good

Here ya go, never realized it was set as that. Still coming down nicely, just eyeballing I would say about 8-9 inches so far.

How do I do that ? Never realized anything on my channel was private..

Literally pouring snow here on the southernmost tip of Nova Scotia, my Bernese is loving it also https://youtube.com/shorts/55336qpxRXI?feature=share

You guys we’re saying something about wind ? https://youtube.com/shorts/XRtl0f_Sjuw?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/SigX2U_szM8?feature=share

Nice sting jet with this thing here on the southwest tip of Nova Scotia. At least 80 mph southwesterly. Video doesn’t do it justice at all.

https://youtube.com/shorts/0CfG79f-sv4?feature=share Expecting around 12-14 inches here in my area of Nova Scotia along with 60 +mph winds. Not the massive amounts you guys are expecting but still a good storm. Awesome snowgrowth here currently as you can see in the video. Might get in on some sting jet action tonight as the low pulls up into the Bay of fundy. Some models including the Euro show southwesterly gusts over hurricane force around midnight ! Hope you guys get absolutely crushed, you’ve been dreaming of a storm like this for a while now, enjoy !!

Hurricane force Winds at the local wharf.

Crazy conditions here on Cape Sable island.

No Stein up this way that’s for sure !
