Winter Snow Storm



These are pictures of today’s weather. We experienced high winds and more snow all day. The news forecast says that we received 40 cm already and we are to expect another 10 to 20 cm through the night.
Today there were whiteout conditions on the Trans Canada highway and all kinds of accidents.
I just heard that the University College will be closed tomorrow. That means my son will not have to venture out onto that treacherous highway tomorrow.
I am so glad I have a short commute to work. I will not have to venture out on the highway either.
Many people are without power tonight in our province. I am grateful that we still have power. If we were to loose power, we would not only be in the dark, but we would be without water and heat.
Hopefully, the storm will be over tomorrow!

Sucker Hole

Our weather for this month has consisted of rain and wind, rain and wind, and even more rain and wind. Occasionally we see a “sucker hole” like the one above. A sucker hole for those who are not familiar with that weather forecasting term is a patch of blue sky surrounded by dark clouds. That optimistic patch of sky “sucks” us into thinking the weather is getting better–hence a sucker hole! Every time I see one of these patches of sky lately, I am hopeful the weather is turning for the better. What a sucker I am!
