1/3🧵: High Winds Make a River. #storm #SableIslandwx
Most of #SableIsland’s south beach was flooded during the November 4th storm. Yesterday a strong northwesterly gusting to 40 kts pushed the floodwater eastward to a point where the water cut through the berm & began draining back into the ocean…

With storm winds of >50 kts this morning & continuing 40 kts with bursts of heavy rain & clouds of blowing sand, it has been a day to focus on studio work…. #NorthAtlantic #storm

1/2🧵: Waves in the Dark. 🐡
Yesterday, at 6:30 pm, Rose and I walked out to the north beach, with just enough remaining light to see the waves. It had been a windy and cool day, southwesterly gusting to 36 kts and a max temperature of 13.9°C.

Until the photos here were shared, the only iNaturalist records of this frog (Litoria corbeni) were audio recordings! You never know what you might find out there. 👀

Trump’s DOJ just defied a Supreme Court order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia—wrongfully deported, now missing in El Salvador. This isn’t a delay. It’s open defiance. If the Court backs down, the rule of law dies with him. This is the moment. Act—or surrender democracy.

Cuts to the NWS will have an impact in our region.
Weather balloons provide very important data for weather forecasting models (including the Canadian & European models) and provide important insights during fall, winter and spring storms here in the northeast.
