Today I had two meetings with friends and a colleague by phone and online. Some sun showed up early in the morning but clouds increased as the day wore on. We have a rainfall warning for the next 48+ hours. The forecast calls for 40-75 mm (~2-3 inches) before the system moves out. I've been watching Sam, the major hurricane out in the Atlantic. It is unlikely to make landfall in the US, but a small chance exists that it could brush by or hit Newfoundland. One of the plots in the spaghetti plots even shows it coming over Cape Breton. Most cones of uncertainty aren't showing such impacts, but we are still 5 days out from such potential events.
Since to be a card-carrying Canadian, one is required to be a weather watcher and to bring all knowledge to conversations regularly <smile>, a song that deals with this topic should be part of the blog today. <smile> I thought of one featuring backwards lyrics by an iconic group. A little ditty that doesn't condemn rain as a metaphor for all things negative. <smile> I like the rain, too, in most situations. With the right gear, even monsoonal rain can be fun to traverse. One of the songwriters noted this song was his response to people always complaining about the weather. Keep safe. Enjoy!
Rain -- The Beatles
