Later in the day, Dorian transitioned to a post-tropical storm before making landfall over Nova Scotia around 2215 UTC. Due to high amounts of\u00a0 deep-layer wind shear, the low-level circulation center of Dorian remained exposed while deep convection remained to its north and northeast. The eye of Dorian moved over Buoy 44011<\/strong><\/a>, which recorded a wind gust to 82 knots; in western Nova Scotia, winds gusted to 70 knots at Yarmouth<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

#Dorian<\/a> is a storm the Maritimes won't soon forget.
Wind gusts to 145 km\/h (even stronger Les Suetes) up to 161 mm of rainfall, damaging storm surge and yes, the first snow of the season.
