More wonderful weather

Tomorrow's weather forecast, according to Environment Canada:

Thursday: Cloudy. Snow beginning early in the afternoon changing to ice pellets mixed with snow in the afternoon. Snow and ice pellet amount 5 cm. Wind east 40 km/h gusting to 60. High minus 1.

Thursday night: Ice pellets changing to freezing rain in the evening then to rain later in the evening. Wind east 50 km/h gusting to 70. Temperature rising to plus 3 by morning.

In other words, it's a good old-fashioned Southern Ontario slop storm. By Friday morning, all major intersections will have about a foot and a half of water at sidewalk's edge. What fun!


The Conservatives' plan to extend two provisions of an anti-terrorism bill has been defeated, and naturally the Tories are blaming the Liberals for this, even though the other opposition parties also opposed the bill. Critics of the Tories, including deputy Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, also pointed out that the government has had five months to respond to a House committee report recommending changes to the Anti-Terrorism Act, but hasn't done anything. This suggests, once again, that Stephen Harper is more interested in attacking the Liberals than legislating.
