I agree with you there! A nice change!

Some winter stats for meteorological winter (Dec-Feb): Precipitation as a whole less than normal in the Maritimes but snowier than normal in most of NS and eastern P.E.I. One of the driest winters in Fredericton. Above normal in Newfoundland. Full analysis: facebook.com/story.php?st...

Mixed precipitation falling across Nova Scotia with rain in the southwest and along the Atlantic Coast of the mainland, with snow inland that in some cases is mixing with freezing rain. Snow is falling for south-southeast New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx

Snow moves into much of the Maritimes later this evening/ overnight, mixes with rain southwest and Atlantic Coastal N.S. Snow moves into N.L. on Wednesday, mixes with rain in the southeast. 5-15 cm of for many. Quite mild southern Maritimes Wednesday PM. Full update: www.facebook.com/share/p/18Rn...

Start to finish. #LunarEclipse of the #BloodMoon as seen in #NovaScotia @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social @allisteraalders.bsky.social @themurphologist.bsky.social

Mix of sun and cloud in the Maritimes on Tuesday, but snow for much of the region develops Tuesday night. Onshore flurries for Newfoundland on Tuesday, then some snow arrives Wednesday. The full forecast: facebook.com/story.php?st... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

A partial lunar eclipse will take place as the moon sets Tuesday AM. Visibility will range from ~20% magnitude in eastern Newfoundland to ~90% magnitude in southwest Nova Scotia. Clouds more likely western N.S.-N.B., western N.L. Full outlook: www.facebook.com/share/p/18RP... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

March is a changeable month, but we do make a lot of gains!

• It’s now meteorological spring!
• Time change on March 8: 7 p.m. sunsets return!
• Vernal Equinox March 20 at 11:46 a.m. AT/12:16 p.m. NT.
• We gain over 90 minutes of total daylight by the end of March!

A fair start to the weekend for most of the region - a few isolated flurries in NL and some rain-snow along a front in northern New Brunswick. That front will bring flurries/snow to the rest of the Maritimes later Sunday. Offshore low for SE NL. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #halisky

Lots of sunshine across the Maritimes on Friday but cooler temperatures than today. An offshore low will brush the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland with some rain showers and wet snow, with a chance of flurries through central/western Newfoundland. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

I can hear it clear as day!

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

Me too - I believe it was the same voice on the Hello Weather phone # and then when I had my first weather radio. The end of an era!

The federal government is discontinuing its Weather Radio service as of March 16, 2026 after 50 years in service. Unfortunate, but has been rumoured so not surprising. @yhzweatherguy.bsky.social www.canada.ca/en/environme...

Snow reports from CoCoRaHS volunteers: Widespread 15 to 30 cm from most observers in NS, PEI, and south/eastern NB. Drifting a factor in many cases - volunteer in Newcombeville measured 13 cm to 64 cm! Thanks to the volunteers for their dedication to reporting! #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #halisky

This is the scene in Plateau tonight near Chéticamp, Nova Scotia this evening. On top of the snow, Les Suêtes winds have gusted over 120 km/h between Margaree Harbour and Chéticamp!

Thanks to Krista Courtney for sharing this video! ❄️ 🥶 #NSStorm #NSwx

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

The nor’easter gets its name from the winds blowing from the northeast!

Nor'easter rolls into the Maritimes on Monday with significant snow and wind for much of the region. It will also bring snow and rain with strong winds to Newfoundland. A complex system and forecast. Full update: www.facebook.com/share/p/1Gbt... #NSStorm #NBstorm #PEstorm #NLwx #halisky

No shortage of weather to talk about with some snow in the region this weekend and a developing nor'easter set to move into the region early next week. The full outlook here: www.facebook.com/share/p/18Ff... #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #halisky

Increasingly likely late Monday - Tuesday, but the track is not set in stone.

Quite a bit of sunshine in most of the Maritimes Friday but considerable variation in temperature - near/above freezing in the south, below freezing in the north. Sun in the mix for Newfoundland but onshore flurries/snow for the west coast. Watching low to our south Saturday. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Lingering flurries over parts of the north and east in the Maritimes tonight into Thursday while a storm continues for parts of Newfoundland. Improving in the Maritimes tomorrow with lingering snow/flurries for eastern/central N.L. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Can confirm - from Mahoney’s Beach Road before going to Arisaig!

No shortage of sea ice in parts of the Northumberland Strait right now! This was the view from Arisaig, Nova Scotia on what is a beautiful winter afternoon in the region. #NovaScotia #NSwx #Wx #Winter

A weak low will bring flurries and light snow to the Maritimes Saturday night-Sunday. Trace-5cm for most but areas of 5-15 cm possible in the east. Otherwise a fair long weekend. Scattered flurries and light snow will persist for NL with trace-5cm. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx

Aside from some clouds in parts of the east, almost a completely clear view of the Maritimes from space today! You can see the snow and the ice in the larger lakes and in parts of the Northumberland Strait and Gulf of St. Lawrence. ❄️🧊 🛰️ #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #halisky

Snow laden trees hang over both sides of a forest clearing at sunset, a small path created in the thick snow by passersby. The sky is a deep yellowish grey with hints of orange.

While all this snow is definitely a pain to shovel, it sure is pretty.

Lots of sunshine in most of the Maritimes on Friday, a bit slow to clear in Cape Breton. Lingering flurries mixed with showers/drizzle for Newfoundland with sea enhanced snow on the west coast. #NSwx #NBwx #PEwx #NLwx #Halisky
