I worry about the region's future as a wine producer. Those extreme temperatures last year destroyed so many vines. Some were over 50 years old.
Vancouver is similar. I never remember getting negative double digits here. Yet here we are, three years in a row.

There was a sharp short cold snap in NS last winter that did a real number on the Annapolis Valley vineyards.
Currently -7C and partly cloudy in Moncton at 11 AM. Snow is expected to start at around 1 PM, transitioning though ice pellets and freezing rain to rain by about 8 PM. Around 5 cm of snow and ice pellets expected, followed by about 10 mm of rain. Our overnight "low" will be +8C. Gusty winds up to 70 km/hr expected.
