I ended up at a house concert in Indian Head. It’s interesting where life takes you when you don’t plan your day. Dan Frechette and Laurel Thomsen are on their way down to southern California and across the USA touring very soon. Part 2 More may be coming later if

LeDaro: Weather in Maritimes
It looks that mother nature is very angry. Few days ago we had a lot of thunder and rain storm. It is still cloudy and rains a lot. Some communities near the Bay of Fundy were flooded. It looks like another symptom of Global Warming.

Yikes!! MT @Skstormchaser: #skstorm backside of storm heading S.E. towards REGINA http://t.co/vXhhWR7Him #YQR— Tiffany Lizée (@TiffanyGlobal) July 24, 2013 A surprise thunderstorm approached me as I biked north on Rose St., thinking of going under the tracks to check out the remains of Big Sky Cycles after their shop burned

The Great Arctic Flush By Paul Beckwith A massive cyclone is forecast to develop in the Arctic, as shown on the image below, from the Naval Research Laboratory. Within 2 weeks the Arctic Ocean will be completely transformed. The cyclone that appears 6 days out on both the US and

Since there was hail coming out of it, this can be assumed to be a shelf cloud, not a wall cloud, which would have been found in the rain-free part of the cloud. Apparently I didn’t need to get quite as excited as I did. Filed under: Science Tagged: Alberta

I hope I live to be proven right but we’ve been under various radical weather warnings for the last two weeks and none of it has actually ever transpired. Today’s Tornado watch issued for Ottawa takes the cake. Yesterday I ignored the weather watch dire thunderstorm possible hail and all

I found a new way to appreciate my home town through the eyes of astronomers this weekend. Also, I used the astronomers’ telescopes, which is a great way to look from their perspective on the universe. Wood Mountain is the gateway to the East Block of the Grasslands National Park

You can’t trust anything you read on a website that is not coloured blue. This is important to remember. If you accidentally open a website that is not blue, turn your computer off immediately and dial 1-800-TORYBLU. Technicians like these will come to your house and help you reset it.

Kent looks the same… but his mind has left him. Amazing CBC coverage of climate change from the early 1980s. Bob McDonald, Peter Kent, and others make appearances: Attention Washington: Peter Kent explains Climate Change (the briefing you won’t see). “The natural preoccupation with the weather tomorrow, the next day,

I went on a road trip Saturday with my friend Adam K., down to my parents’ place, and his grandparents’ farm. On the way around southern Saskatchewan, we saw close to 150 deer and antelope, a snowy owl, a dozen hawks, a handful of Canada Geese, smaller birds, two dead

Open letter to Canada Goose Haters (Inspired from more than one instance- but you know who you are if you did make a comment and you are welcome to confront me about it- but it’s not JUST you- so don’t think you’re special in that way). Judgment. I am the

The ol’ digital thermometer is saying it’s about -35 in Regina this morning, before the windchill value is calculated. I still saw ESL students walking to school without toques or hoods on this morning.

Take care out there kids, especially if you’re in the NCR. Beaucoup de neige! These are also the ideal conditions for winter hoop snakes. These critters very much like it around the freezing mark and thrive especially well when the first snow of the season hits. This gives them adequate

… are serious decisions that impact thousands of familites. The decision to cancel should not be made lightly and should keep the chidrens’ safety first and foremost. BUT, erring on the side of caution can be taken a bit too far. Take the last two Mondays, for example, last Monday

Is the Canadian or any provincial government helping out at all? I know we have sent crews to the States to provide assistance before, and I know it’s still early, but surely we should be planning something, right? (3) Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario
