elpolvo~ interesting that you should mention that. my brother and i both check the Windfinder site to track the weather - it's quite accurate. i expect you consult it too. for quite a long while -- many months -- there is almost always a big vortex swirling around the Gulf of the St. Lawrence and Newfloundland. occasionally, it drops further south over Nova Scotia. we are almost always no one side or the other of that swirling air mass .. pulling winds up from the south or southwest or pushing winds down from the north or northeast. that gives us 2 or 3 days of pleasant weather and then about the same of cold rainy stuff. i don't mind too much, but once in awhile it seems to stall and keep dumping the cool damp weather. the other thing is when we get strong wind out of the west... that's actually been happening a lot this winter and spring. it brings the cold air from the Bay of Fundy. i'm maybe 5 miles from the Fundy coast and until later in the summer -- maybe August, the water temperature is fairly chilly in the Bay. even when the temperature is supposed to be warm here, that changes so quickly when the tide comes up the Bay. that was something i noticed when i first moved here. one minute, i could be working outside on a hot summer's day and the next minute, i'd be wanting to put on a sweatshirt because there would be this breeze that would come flowing across the meadow -- a sort of invisible cloak of cold like someone had left the door open on a walk-in freezer. not complaining as it is very pleasant on a very hot day but in the shoulder season of spring and autumn it can feel frigid. before i installed new windows in my place i could tell when the tide was coming in even when lying in bed because the room would chill down and the glass on the old windows would feel really cold. all of this is actually okay with me. one of the reasons i chose this place -- this part of the world to move to after selling the farm was because eastern Ontario had become noticeably hotter and far more humid than it used to be. we used to enjoy summers there - hiking and canoeing - but around the mid-90s, we started to noticed that summers were becoming kind of dreadful. going out in the canoe felt like being an ant under a magnifying glass and that you might burst into flames at any second. we started coming up here to NS for our summer holidays so that we could actually "do stuff" without having to hide indoors in the hottest part of the afternoon. anyhow, well, that's probably a lot more than you would like to hear about the weather out here. i'm a bit of a weather junkie. :) ~croco
