We were under a large area of high pressure today giving us light winds clear skies and cool temperatures. The ridge will move to our east tomorrow putting us into a sw flow and milder temperatures. Rain is expected over night tomorrow with warmer temperatures ending the week. Noticed that the GEM GLB has a large storm off our coast late Saturday. It is the only model showing this system, so chances of it happening are slim and none.

We had mostly cloudy skies this morning and cloud this afternoon. Light snow late this afternoon which gave us a trace of accumulation.Temperature is to rise overnight giving us a high tomorrow in the mid single digits. Should be a good day to go get the tree and put up some outdoor lights. On a side note the tall ship Picton Castle, based out of Lunenburg, lost a crew member who was washed overboard last night when hit by a rogue wave off the US seaboard in rough weather.
