How I Love the Weather

So, everyone is preparing in my neck of the woods for Hurricane Noel. An early Christmas present? I understand the switching back and forth between male and female names as to not play into stereotypes, but to name a deadly storm after the more joyous period of the year leaves me wondering what scientist thought that was a good idea! Since our last Hurricane, us Canadians have learned a thing or two. Wind is bad, it really can snow like our grandparents are always telling us it used to, and did I mention wind is bad? The interesting thing is that the last time I lost power for more than a day was not a hurricane, nope, that was an ice storm in November. Power company got a lot of flack for that, let me tell you! Now, other parts of the province did lose power during the last hurricane, just not the area that I was living in, thankfully. So, if I vanish off the blogosphere, it is because the weather people were actually doing their jobs correctly! A thing they normally have a very hard time doing here in the Maritimes. In any case, it is looking like a lot of rain and wind for tomorrow.

I had planned to write some reviews tonight, but my internet decided that it was better for me to not, as it spent the majority of my evening dead. So, that is my plan for tomorrow. I also plan to finish Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden and move on to something else. I am making tomorrow a reading day because it's a fun idea and it might be too stormy to go anywhere, anyways. Right, so I will be back tomorrow with some more interesting posting, and right now I am going to go finish my laundry and read my book! Fun times ahead!

  3. yep, we've cleared off the deck and bought extra bread and milk. We lost power for 2-3 days with Juan, so we are getting prepared.

    What was up last night with the internet? I lost connection around 9 o'clock last night. I'm playing now on the computer in case I don't get a fix for a while.
    I think this storm is really headed here. In Yarmouth you say? Yikes.

  5. I lost the internet around then too! How strange. I haven't been watching the weather, I watched my fair share of that yesterday and they never seemed to know what they were talking about as it changed every broadcast.

  9. I'll chime in on the 'lost-internet' thing, too. Hmm. My aunt's name is Noel so I'm going to cut out any good headlines that feature Noel and the stormy weather for my photo album. Good luck everyone and hope it's not too tree-topply.
