--001a113d29dc58b9e4050fc0b99a Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 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. http://rickwhitman.smugmug.com/Nature/Glory-Photos/i-gBRhrPL/A 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. http://rickwhitman.smugmug.com/Nature/Glory-Photos/i-Dms3RQ2/A 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. http://rickwhitman.smugmug.com/Nature/Glory-Photos/i-FCfZ6fL/A 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.
