noel update


Yesterday was a beautiful day, sunny and calm, but kind of chilly (which is acceptable for November). It was definitely not the kind of day which made you think, "Hmm, I wonder if there'll be a hurricane tomorrow?" And this is why I am thankful for meteorologists! As an aside, it's been a treat here in Halifax to read the forecast in the morning paper, dress accordingly, and actually have that weather happen during the day. How often does that happen in Calgary?!? ;-) (Although, in Calgary, there's really only three kinds of weather: 1) sunny and warm, 2) sunny and cold, and 3) rarely occurring other weather.)

Today started out looking like a regular cloudy, blustery, possibly-rainy day, but it has been getting worse and worse. The photo was taken at 1:30, when the rain started. It's raining relatively hard and quite windy, but I would say this is a fairly average stormy day so far (i.e. no worse than Friday the 12th, when I got soaked coming home from work!). We'll see how ugly it gets later on - I think the worst is supposed to hit tonight...
