Light snow fell in Labrador after post-tropical storm Dorian swept through.
As remnants of Dorian moved east and merged with a trough, some light snow fell on parts of New Brunswick and Labrador

After Dorian made landfall as a hurricane-strength post-tropical storm in Nova Scotia Saturday and tracked east, it left behind more than a trail of damage and power outages -- it even dropped some light flurries in parts of New Brunswick and Labrador, later that evening and overnight Sunday, respectively.

What led to the dusting of the white stuff (no accumulations) was a trough merging with Dorian. As it transitioned into a post-tropical storm, the wind field expanded and the storm lost its tropical characteristics, Weather Network meteorologist Matt Grinter explained.

As our climate shifts in the Grand Solar Minimum, vegetable shortages are forcing canneries and processing plants to shut down for lack of product. Banks are telling customers to go to Food Banks as prices rise. China's ravenous appetite for protein threatens Kenya's donkeys in the wake of African Swine Fever -- they are already struggling to feed their people. Canada has had a rough season, and is already experiencing frost. The signs of looming food scarcity are everywhere -- Christian breaks it down.

Thick Arctic ice stops yet another ship of 'Climate Change' documentary filmmakers

MS MALMO came to a grinding halt on Sep 3 off Longyearbyen, the Svalbard Archipelago.

MS MALMO came to a grinding halt on Sep 3 off Longyearbyen, the Svalbard Archipelago.

The MS MALMO is the latest in a long list of ships to have gotten stuck in
surprisingly thick Arctic sea ice this year.

The Swedish vessel, built in 1943 and refurbished in 2014, was on an "Arctic tour" with the noble mission of ferrying a team of Climate Change documentary filmmakers to the front line. The teams intention was to capture some of the catastrophic ice melt being reported by the worlds media — ice melt which it would appear still refuses to manifest despite decades of furious willing from the UN & IPCC.

The MS MALMO came to a grinding halt on Sep 3 off Longyearbyen, the Svalbard Archipelago, halfway between Norway and the North Pole, when it encountered impenetrably thick ice.

All 16 icehuggers on-board wound up being evacuated by helicopter in very challenging conditions and at the expense of a carbon-footprint of yeti proportions:

Deadly algae on Brittany's beaches is killing dozens of people annually

Activists say stinking sludge is linked to nitrates in fertilisers from intensive farming

A woman looks at properties declared out of bounds due to algae at the Valais beach in Saint-Brieuc.
André Ollivro stepped carefully down the grassy banks of an estuary in the bay of Saint-Brieuc, Brittany, not far from his beachfront cabin. The pungent smell of rotting eggs wafting from decomposing seaweed made him stop and put on his gas mask. It was a strange sight in what is usually a tourist hotspot.

"You can't be too careful," said the 74-year-old former gas technician, who is leading the fight against what has come to be known as France's coastal "killer slime".

"When I was 16, I used to bring a boat here with my uncle," Ollivro said. "In those days, it was all about natural beauty and you didn't see seaweed piled up. It's a shame this place has come to be associated with death."

Comment: Apparently the gas released by these algae is hydrogen sulfide, which, at high concentrations, can quickly become lethal.
