Your MacDonald Bridge might sway today.

Some good morning, buddy — this is Halifax, and we have stories.

### Weather warnings are here again, my son

Well, here we go again, my son. We've got an active weather advisory for Halifax, and while the specifics aren't clear yet from the data, you know what that means for us on the harbour. It’s that time of year where you wake up and wonder if the MacDonald bridge will be swaying like a fiddle player at a kitchen party, or if the ferry service will be telling us to stay put on the Dartmouth side. It’s not just a cute little dusting, either, because those advisories often mean some real messy weather that can snarl up Spring Garden Road something fierce.

It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on those conditions, especially if you're planning a trip down to the waterfront or even just crossing over to the North End. This city, bless its heart, has seen its share of wild weather, and we know to take these warnings seriously.

* Active weather advisory currently in effect.

* Specific details on the type of advisory are not yet available from our real-time monitors.

* Residents should monitor local forecasts for updates.

We’ve seen how quickly things can change here, from a calm morning to a full-on blizzard that makes you want to stay home with a donair and some Ron Hynes tunes. Keep an ear out, and be safe out there, buddy.

That's the Morning Wire from the MiTL Sports Desk.

You know Keith and the gang will be chewin' on this all morning — catch 'em live over at mornings.live.
