The Labor Day Weather Focus is on Canada's Foggy Bay of Fundy
Among those affected by the oncoming wind and rain of Hurricane Earl are the Canada-bound cruise ships. Good thing we took our trip up to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick last month, huh?
The Bay of Fundy is said to be exactly where Earl will make landfall on Sunday, so expect this quaint Canadian area to be in the headlines for more than just their pretty autumn leaves and oddly high tidal range. Speaking of those tides—which see daily changes in the water level of around 55' in some parts—they are bound to be even crazier come this weekend. Tourists who flock to the Bay of Fundy just to see the water level rise dramatically will be in for a treat this weekend, if they aren't completely rained out of town.
Last month, we spent some time deep in the Bay of Fundy at the port of Saint John, New Brunswick. Although we missed the big tidal drop and rise, we did spend an inordinately long amount of time engulfed in thick and soupy fog. It was pretty awesome when it wasn't plain spooky.
Hurricane Earl will be spending his Labor Day up in these parts, probably making landfall specifically to enjoy some blueberry ale (a specialty of the area). He won't be leaving out Halifax either, however, as Nova Scotia is facing serious hurricane warnings as it stands now. Halifax, though not on the Bay of Fundy, also regularly experiences days of fog and odd weather.
Check out our photo gallery above, of the fog rolling in to both Saint John and Halifax harbors, and then imagine what freakish weather Hurricane Earl will bring to bear when he stops into the area over the weekend.
