Seven years ago, Allan Henneberry started building a lobster trap tree, decorated with lights and buoys that contain the name of a ship and its crew who didn’t make it home.
HALIFAX Forecasters are calling for a wet and windy Christmas Day across the Maritimes, with the kind of wind that could lead to power outages. In the sheltered wharf at Fisherman’s Cove, the boats sit calmly at their berth. Further out at the mouth of Halifax Harbour, conditions are rougher and windier. A Christmas Day storm is expected to rile up the surf even more. “When the storm comes across the province, we’ll be monitoring it, the intensity and severity, and any changes, for example, excessive power outages,” says Roy Hollett, Halifax Fire deputy chief. Western Nova Scotia should get the heaviest winds, rain and potentially record-setting high temperatures are in store for the rest of the province.
