Wonder what the climate change deniers will have to say about that.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Ice and Very High Tide Photos
I was coming back along the 101 by the ball fields near St. Croix on Friday
afternoon and the river there had actually topped the dykes in places and
there were flooded fields on both sides of the river.

I've placed three recent photos of ice conditions and the recent extreme
high tides on my photo web site.
The first photo would be "same old, same old" in the Gulf of St. Lawrence
but is not quite so typical for the Minas Basin. In any case, it shows solid
ice cakes from East Point, N. Grand Pre, right across to Blomidon on Feb.
12th.

The second photo shows high tide at the main bridge between Greenwich and
Port Williams on Feb. 19th when the predicted tide was 16.2 m. The ice
cakes, going upriver, were hitting the bridge but I would call it a low-key
situation, as it was. I would have liked to have seen it the next day when
the predicted tide was 16.7 m, but our weather here did not really allow
that drive.

The third photo shows a 16.5 m high tide at the main dyke, just N of Horton
Landing, on Feb. 21st. The ice cakes are close to level with the dyke but
the water is probably about 1 m. below.

These photos are sequential on my site. I just wanted to discuss them
individually here. I checked the non-evidence in the snow on the 21st and
there was no sign whatsoever that the peak tides on the 20th and early on
the 21st had even splashed up onto the top of the dyke, at either Port
Williams or Horton Landing. Actual tides are adjusted from the predicted
levels by the specific atmospheric pressure and winds each day. Someone like
Roy Bishop would have to discuss how that worked out this past week.

Rick Whitman
