Brief look at upcoming weather...

Generally cooler than normal for the next 6-10 days.

The storm that brought snow to Alberta will affect us in Ontario with a bunch of rain late Wednesday into Thursday.  
There will be another front coming through late Saturday that will give us more rain.  Then some more rain on Tuesday...

I've read articles that this fall will have fabulous colours in our area...

Welcome to Autumn

The fall Equinox occurred this afternoon.

Almost Fall

The Autumn Equinox happens at 5:04 AM this Friday, September 23rd.   Snow covers a good chunk of the Canadian Arctic Archipeligo.  The Arctic sea ice reached its minimum a week ago, second lowest in the satellite era (but not lowest in paleoclimatological record, discussed here) despite the very late start of the Eastern Canadian/Western Greenland freeze season due to a prolonged period of a strong negative AO atmospheric circulation (discussed here) which undoubtedly affected the melt season.
