This typist is reliably informed by a phycologist that this algae is also being fooled by the wacky winter. It was spotted in an inland waterway on the South Shore of Nova Scotia early in January. Apparently algae should not be getting "in the mood" in January, but this bloom is showing reproductive signs such as its colour and swelling of pods which contain spores necessary for reproduction.
