First snowfall in Lunenburg today... only for a few minutes and now the sun is shining again, but it's definitely a bit parky out there. Just picked VL jnr up from school and he nearly got blown over by the wind gusting along the waterfront on the walk back.

It's been raining a fair bit here, though fortunately nothing on the same scale as in recent tragedies reported here and elsewhere. All schools, parks, cementaries etc. are closed to the public; all local football matches apart from those in the professional leagues called off; and the sale of umbrellas has gone through the roof:

It's bad, the worst in at least ten years.
75% of the city has standing water.
It's also bad in other coastal areas. More than dozen yachts (including one belonging to the Berlusconi family) were seriously damaged when part of the sea wall in Rapallo collapsed and there has been significant flooding along parts of the Neapolitan coast. 20 deaths have been attributed to the storms and flooding so far.
Ms. ursus arrived in Milano this morning, and was pleased to report that it wasn't that bad in the city

Only a few snowflakes fell here this morning, but much of the rest of Nova Scotia has been blanketed overnight. Over 200 thousand people without power at the moment, looks like it could take a while to get this fixed. We'll have internet access here for as long as the backup battery on the router and the laptop batteries hold out, so I guess I should stop farting around on OTF and get some work done while I still can...
