September 5, 2019. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Weather.

The weather on the south shore of Nova Scotia has been almost perfect. Today was a good example. The temperature was 64 degrees. The sky was clear and the sun shone the whole day. The breeze came off the sea. And the long twilight keeps the sunset colors stay almost an hour. The sight from the deck at Western Head has been remarkable. This summer we have had little rain so the good weather has kept us all happy. But the weather is supposed to. change. Hurricane Dorian is coming to Nova Scotia. On Saturday, we will get heavy rain and high winds. And high tides. Everyone has been alerted to keep water and flashlights. Power failures are expected. On Friday I will fill the bathtub so I can flush the toilets. The air is so calm and sea so quiet that trying to think of an angry sea arriving on Saturday does not seem likely. Clausen has been working in DC this week. He is due home on Saturday. No such luck so he has changed his flight for Monday. I am sorry he will miss the storm, as he has yet to see a big storm here. But we are ready to ride out the storm here at Western Head. Now we will wait and see.
