Anyone else giving @bluesky a spin? Jumped in a few weeks ago and I'm enjoying it. Lots of folks from the weather/climate/science community have joined and are posting news and information, with far less... noise. If you're there, I'm here: bsky.app/profile/ryansnoddon…

Lots of buzz about yet another Sunday into Monday storm. And yes, while it's still a long way out, it's looking more and more likely that parts of the Maritimes may be digging out again early next week. Here's what we know... and what we don't know. #nsstorm #nbstorm

When it comes to wintry weather, the Maritimes has certainly dipped a toe into the water with chilly temperatures and snow. However, Old Man Winter is about to push us into the pool head first — and the water will be frigid. My latest here: cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scot…

Heavy rain + winds howling like werewolves for Halloween. The good news is, many folks will see the heaviest rain ending BEFORE the kids head out trick or treating. My latest forecasts... NS: youtube.com/watch?v=IYxOgZry… NB: cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6… #nsstorm #nbstorm

Looks like the very rough ride was confirmed. Plane had to leave early. They reported svr turb and a "sawtooth" eye. Looks like they moved 600-700ft up & down during this stretch in ~1 min. But they captured some historic data including a 893mb center drop. Mission for the ages.

September 2025 was the third warmest on record in the Berkeley Earth dataset. But this downplays how anomalous it was; without 2023 and 2024 this year would have been well above any prior records and well above the long-term trend:
