Can't quite fathom what time of year looking out the window would indicate. A northerly draft, overcast, a cool 5C doesn't give one the idea spring has sprung by any stretch. Temp might make it to the double digits, if so not far. Possible sunny periods for today and tomorrow, upcoming week not much difference with the possibility of moisture most days.

A nice looking morning underway, a draft from NE making the 8C seem a bit cooler, a few clouds. Weatherman suggesting partial cloud and temp to hit low double digits. The long weekend not looking to be great, temps are cool, overcast and rain by Monday, long range not very optimistic.

A few of the boats suggesting the catch is picking up, but still not an overall picture. Price still in a state of flux, haven't heard what was paid this week.

Overcast, calm, a cool 5C, possibility of shower and clearing, weatherman has all bases covered, no indication of warming up too much. Weather for week in and out, but the constant is the cool temps.

Morning news shows lobster fisherman on north shore of New Brunswick have gone fishing, protest continues in PEI and some Nova Scotia locations. Price still the motivating factor keeping boats at the wharf, can't cover expenses to bring one ashore at prices ...
