0C and sunny in Moncton at 4 PM. The sun is going down. The storm yesterday was a nothingburger in Moncton - gusty wind and rain, but most of the severe wind was coastal and in NS. The rain was worse to our west. We were in the sweet spot halfway in between.
The sun has now set on a perfectly beautiful sunny and cool day. Our low on the basin was 2.6 at 9 am and our high 4.6 at 3 pm. Yesterday's winds were very strong but my terrace tree survived unscathed.
A few observations about my weather station statistics for 2023:
May to September was mostly normal temperatures, but the cooler months were notably lacking in cold weather.
It dropped below -10 only five times, all on consecutive nights from January 31 to February 4, the coldest being -16.6. Outside of that week, there was barely any cold.
The mean temperature for both January and February was above freezing, January's mean was +0.4 and February's was +0.9. Every month of 2023 will have a mean temp over 0 degrees, which probably never happens.
Even more amazing, there were only seven days with highs below freezing during 2023. The two week forecast is almost to the end of the year, with no cold weather in sight, so these stats may hold.

A chilly -9C and sunny in Moncton at 8 AM, only getting as high as -3C this afternoon.
A warming trend over the next few days culminating with a high of +10C on Sunday with rain. No snow in the forecast period. It may be a green Christmas after all.
It's a bright and sunny morning in Halifax. Yesterday's high was 6.5 and the low is now -3.8. We dropped below 0 at about midnight and we've been slowly dropping since. The forecast high for YHZ today is -4. By tomorrow afternoon this cold air will have passed. Forecast for tomorrow is a high of 6 under a mostly sunny sky.
I finally made mushroom risotto in my instant pot tonight: turned out excellent. Then I baked a dozen banana muffins for my birthday tomorrow. It was mostly cloudy in Toronto, no snow in sight. It's supposed to be 50F/10C tomorrow and sunny.
