Grow a "Mo" for Movember.

That's right ladies. Watch out! Jay Scotland is about to become one hot stud. It's going to take a lot of self control over the next few weeks to not become a little hot and bothered while watching Newswatch Weather on CHEX TV. Just remember this as you watch the ultra hot Jay Scotland grace your TV screen...he's a married man! Okay, I'll admit to being a little sarcastic off the top and (in the interest of full disclosure) I'll also admit to resembling a hobbit in real life. But a moustache does seem to have a certain effect on women and I'll be sporting one over the next few weeks. (Or at least trying to grow one). And ladies...even if facial hair isn't your thing remember that this is for a good cause. After an invite from the Peterborough Lakefield Police I have decided to join the "Molice" and grow a "stache" to raise awareness and funds in the fight against Prostate Cancer. For more details please check out this website. This is a great way to change the face of men's health and if you'd like to help out my fundraising effort please CLICK HERE to make a donation online. Any amount will go a long way.

Snow? Really?

Snow? Are we really that surprised? Well...it is that time of year. We are in November. Still, a collective gasp can be heard across the country the second that word is uttered. Now before we get all worked up over a few flakes I will say that there is just a small chance that we'll see any tonight in Peterborough...but there is a chance. It all comes down to temperature. (For you budding meteorologists out there, it often comes down to the location of the "0 Degree Wet Bulb Isotherm," Google it if you have the time). But temperature is ultimately the deciding factor on what form of precipitation falls and I think it will stay warm enough here in Peterborough to hold off the snow tonight. Expect a few showers this evening and maybe a rain/wet snow mix. The low will be plus 1 so wet snow is still possible. Here in the city we're on the transition line tonight and areas north of that line have a pretty good chance of seeing a few flurries. Bancroft and north to Haliburton have a could see some snow tonight as the temperature wil be a few degrees cooler. So don't be surprised if you see a few flakes north of Peterborough. Oh...and please don't blame the Weather Guy. Winter is fun...embrace it!

Safety First

First of all...I have to send out a big thank you to mother nature for Halloween night. The weather certainly was a treat. Late in the afternoon things started to clear and, although it was windy (gusts in excess of 60 km/h), by 6pm it was was relatively clear and 9 degrees in the city. Not bad. That glimmer of hope we talked about on Wednesday (see blog post below) played out in the best case senario...awesome. Well, now we enter November. We're back to standard time and it's time to pack away the Halloween decorations for another year. I just thought I'd pop a blog post up here to remind you to change the smoke alarm batteries before you start unpacking the Christmas decorations. The busy holiday season will soon be upon us so it's best to change them now before we forget over the hectic run-up to Christmas. Enjoy the first day of November (it's a treat as well) and I'll see you tomorrow on Newswatch.
