Monday morning duex.

CBC HV-GB had an interview with a guy who monitors the ice conditions around the province. Not a whole lot of good news, heavy ice all the way up the Labrador coast making it impossible for any commercial traffic for a little while yet, or maybe a little longer. Class 9 ice for 50 miles or so north of Grosse Water Bay.
If the temperatures do not get warmer it may be the end of this month before any freight/passenger boats get up here. The gentleman mentioned that not even with an escort could any ships get through at the moment and even if things do thin out ships would only be able to travel in daylight hours.

For this time of year we should not be seeing thick ice on the old dam, or so much ice out in the harbor.









It gets down into the minus temperatures in the evening and some days it gets up to 5 or 6, one day last week it got up to 11.
It’s a nice sunny day today but as soon as you get near the harbor you can feel the temperature drop, any little in wind just makes it even cooler.

Just curious. What are the maximum temperature extremes (high/low) ever recorded in Nain?
