I have a fairly rare opportunity to meet up with my daughter in Halifax, Nova Scotia this Friday through Monday. Fellow Pelican Yellow Peril has been very kind to keep me up to date on local weather, but it’s difficult for a So Cal guy (we just don’t “get” real weather) to discern what to expect - especially when there’s so much fear mongering in the “news”.

They do expect Dorian to head towards N.S. They expect it to be down to a Cat 1 by Saturday pm, but also to get between 2 and 4” of rain.

I’m guessing the airlines may cancel either my first flight into Newark, ormonce there would cancel my last leg into Halifax. But the tickets have been purchased...

Now sometimes when I hear stories of people in harm’s way I think, why didn’t they cancel/why didn’t they turn back. And of course, I’d hate to ask myself that question myself sometime this weekend. And at the same time I’d hate to cancel only to find out it was NBD.

So, any info would be appreciated. You guys who get real weather - what would you do? Any armchair forecasters - can you cut through the hype and help with the go/no go decision.

TIA
