  1. Rare thunderbolts and lighting today in #YYT

    A fishing boat was seen to be hit in the harbour; and captured on a livestream. Reddit source below. I did hear this one.

  2. @EdwinG About three years ago one of my colleagues told me that he tagged along for a ride offshore of St. John's (actually #Torbay ) #Newfoundland planning to catch some halibut.
    Instead the hooked something bigger: a 6-foot #shark 🦈 🀯🀯🀯

    I'm looking at the picture right now and that is definitely not a tuna or halibut, but an actual shark (I can't tell whether it's a great white or some other variety, but it surely looks similar to those you might see in the movies). #yyt

  3. The ol #Kia has no air conditioning, been meaning for years to insulate the roof with left-over sound mat and foam panels. Sunny day today around #yyt, so managed to get it installed!

  4. Couple of ducks came up from the river, where they usually I suppose are eating river scum, to snack on the plow bank.

    Global warming probably has our number as a species, but I think the ducks will survive. They float, too.

  5. Water St. Is bumper to bumper, light to light, the whole length right now; very narrow as parking lanes not really plowed and cutting a few feet off either side. Can't recall it ever being so jammed up, outside of a blizzard.

  6. Looks like maybe a bit under 20 cm down. ~15 cm to go followed by ~6 mm rain according to the forecast.

    Not actually wet and heavy: the snow is light and fine, blowing everywhere with moderate drifting.

  7. The 'Svitzer Bedford' in port this morning. There are two other tugboats currently in port as well; the 'Placentia Pride' (Voith escort tug, operates around Come by Chance), and the tiny 'Dalton Guardian'.

    The Bedford is a modest ~50T+ escort tug, built around 2005.

    Nice morning out, crisp cool and sunny with little wind

  8. Snowstorm en-route for Eastern Newfoundland.. warnings are out. Per Windy: GFS currently sitting at 35cm, ECMWF 18cm, worryingly.. HRDPS is ... showing 50cm.

    All show rain at the tail end, around 3pm. Regardless, we are going to get a lot of snow.

    The ol' back will be hurting this week...
