With the passage of the cold front early this morning we picked up 3 mm of rain. Wind gusts reached close to 70 km/hr. More remarkable was the temperature drop after the front moved through. At the Halifax Int. Airport the temp dropped 6*C between 1 and 2 am and wind died down to 11 km/hr. Last nights temp was 19*C just after midnight at 7 am it was 9*C. Currently it is 8*C at 10:20 pm. The barometer has been rising today and it is now 102.1 kPa. We have a risk of frost in the forecast for overnight, better chance in the inland valleys.
