Good weather?

I just wanted to make a post just for the sake of wasting more pixels. Maybe today would be a good day for a bike ride. I can see some convective clouds on the radar so I would like to get a good view. Living in Caswell really is nice with very little wind but I can't see the horizon from here, thats for sure. Even if I stood on my roof (or put a cam there) it is impossible to see west of here due to the trees and the fact that we are on a down-slope. It brings back memories of 1986. June 1st was the craziest day of my life when a tornado went over our house in Lawson Heights. I still have my doubts as far as what direction it came from but Lawson Heights is very open with big parks and the river valley. I think Caswell is safer but hopefully I did not just jinx it!

Southern Manitoba

I was thinking of going for a bike ride across the river this morning but I am having another cup of coffee. Maybe I will design a new map or two this afternoon. It looks like rain and it already is so it will be more interesting to get drunk off Folgers coffee which is now on sale at Giant Tiger! I will have to take a closer look but it looks like southern Manitoba ... wait there is no watches? I need to take a closer look... brb

Saskatoon Thunderstorm Summary

Its another muggy day out there with nice looking convective clouds over the city at noon. All of our news media web-sites have posted stories about this past weekends storms. The Yahoo group was rockin with tons of stories as well. I was thinking instead of making the usual map forecast, I would try to blog and do it video style for this year. This is gonna be an interesting year for sure.
