It’s raining, it’s pouring

Over the past week, that’s been the case in this area of the world.  Constant rain, not overly heavy, but just enough to make things wet and miserable.  The sun is out today, which makes for a more pleasant situation.

The unusual weather continues around this neck of the woods.  The past few days there’s been rain and slightly cooler temperatures, but nothing completely off.  A look at the national map from Environment Canada shows that across the country the temperatures vary from east to west, with Ontario and Quebec getting up to the mid teens and low twenties (that’s in Celsius).  But it’s one temperature in particular that worries me, as might be seen on this map.

While Whitehorse, Yukon is sitting at 1 Degree Celsius, it happens to be Prince George that is the one spot to have the negative temperature, sitting at -1Degree Celsius.  Fortunately, a look at the local forecast here in Outlook shows that we are looking for some nice weather over the next three days, which is good for the Thanksgiving Day long weekend.  I must admit, however, by Friday that temperature of 10 Celsius for a high and 0 Celsius for an overnight low does give me pause.  I’m still hoping that this warmer weather does continue on into November, however.

Stands to reason, though, that we’d go from temperatures of around 30 degrees Celsius to ones closer to 10 to 15 Celsius.  This is the usual cycle here in Saskatchewan.
