I'm gutted and numb right now. Had to unexpectedly say goodbye to our beloved dog Maggie late last night. She was only with us for 5 of her 13 years but was deeply loved and is being missed terribly today.

Temperature has climbed to +0.1 C as of 6:18pm. Still light rain outside. Temperatures will continue to climb tonight but melting will be slow at first, especially on untreated surfaces. #nsstorm

White Christmas update: There could be dusting of light snow on Xmas Day, especially for western half & central NS including Halifax, beginning near noon through to early evening. 2-5 cm likely #nsstorm

After some encouraging long range guidance the past few days, it is now looking very unlikely Halifax will see a repeat of a White Christmas this year. The system that *could* have brought us snow Xmas Eve is now tracking much too far south. #nsstorm 1/
