Sorrow will have its seasons and its reasons, but let us leave a window open for joy. Some days, simply carrying on asks more of us than anyone can see. Keep going gently. The effort matters because the life you are tending is your own.

So, snow is not out of the question with transitioning tropical systems that pull in cold air. The latest EU model suggests measurable snow for CB, especially over the Highlands. The CDN model has a few cm of wet snow. Be interesting what happens...

‘A terrifying project,’ but there will be no environmental assessment for EverWind’s hyperscale data centre reported by Joan Baxter @joanbaxter.bsky.social

What ‘procedures’ weren’t followed at EverWind’s data centre announcement?: The ejected reporters respond to MPs Blois and Kelloway by Joan Baxter @joanbaxter.bsky.social and Jennifer Henderson @dartjenhen.bsky.social

"And Nova Scotian politicians have a long history of believing them, feting them, rolling out the red carpet and handing out tax breaks and subsidies, and more recently, also rolling back regulations (they like to diss these as “red tape”) meant to protect the environment."

"Nova Scotia has a long history of fast-talking people from far away jetting into the province with grandiose schemes they claim will make us all rich, and with promises of jobs, jobs, jobs..."

This is indefensible behaviour from Everwind. The research done by this reddit poster on the issue is worth your time. The link to the thread www.reddit.com/r/halifax/co... - The Halifax Examiner is one of the last true resources we have for journalism in Nova Scotia. Disgusting.

After a seasonably normal first half of October, the multi-model outlook for the last half looks drier. Systems passing to the south will mostly miss... with Thursday's rain most likely in NS. Chilly today (flurries highlands); but a fair share of aftn temps in the teens for the remainder of October

Elon Musk needs to be investigated and held accountable.

Please do not sane wash EverWind's claim that it gets to decide who attends such announcements. That's not how a free country operates. We do not have state-controlled or corporate-controlled media.

MPs Kody Blois and Mike Kelloway have responded to my open letter to them, attached. I've asked Jennifer Henderson and Joan Baxter to respond, and they will later today. In the meanwhile, here are my thoughts.

Emptied 17.5mm from my gauge this am. A remnant band of showers crosses NS this am. Then a sun cloud mix with spotty showers (flurries north) and chilly single digits this aftn. The weather pattern next week looks mostly sunny. A couple of intense storms pass just south NS... will keep an eye.

Petition to stop the AI data centre construction in Nova Scotia has been launched. “This datacenter is poised to benefit a select few while the costs are disproportionately shared by Nova Scotians. We must scrutinize who truly benefits from such projects and weigh these against long-term impacts…”

Reporters @joanbaxter.bsky.social and @dartjenhen.bsky.social on being thrown out of today's EverWind data centre announcement. "You are trespassing, and if I have to call the police right now, I will.” (Jennifer) Henderson quietly responded, “That’s pretty heavy.” No paywall on this one.

This is NOT normal. I cannot think of anything like it in the 40 years I reported. (Including 30 covering NS politics). No Nova Scotia should be ok with this.

Banning journalists and media outlets you don’t like is straight out of MAGA’s playbook. And any politicians there to support EverWind who didn’t object to this or walk out are complicit.

Last night, at one of his rallies, Trump egged on 4 men who beat the shit out of a woman as she hurt his feelings. THIS is the face of #MAGA The mask is fully off.

Ummm…👇

One more band of showers passing by (say 10:30am) then comfy to walk off the turkey dinner.

This is yet another reason for us to turn out and show up at the ballot box, lest we slip back into a dark‑age mentality. 😤😒😔 #Blues
