Paper Boys


















As you can see by the pictures above (courtesy of Lance Anderson) that was a close call! While settling that Polar Plunge bet (by delivering papers) with Lois Tuffin from Peterborough This Week, Tyler and I decided to have a little fun with that trailer...and almost landed a role in the next "Jackass" movie. Check out the video!



Hopefully the video gives you a few laughs but I wanted to thank Lois on the blog today for challenging Tyler and I with this year's Polar Plunge. Even though Lois ended up beating our fundraising total (by less than $100) we ended up raising just shy of $2,000 for BEL Rotary, the MS Society and St. John Ambulance. Not bad at all. Thanks again to all of our sponsors and hopefully we'll do this again next year...although next time it would be nice to win the bet!

Count The H's





















That's a lot of high pressure centers! I can count 5 on this latest NAM image. So what does this mean? Well think of this as one broad area of high pressure with a central pressure of 1028mb or 102.8 kPa. This airmass is very stable and looks to dominate our weather for the weekend. Expect warm and sunny days (possible double digit highs for Saturday and Sunday) but clear and cold nights (with little cloud cover to trap in that heat after sunset). The weekend is not looking bad at all...enjoy!
