Remembrance Day

I love when our veterans get the good weather they deserve for Remebrance Day. November can be very "hit or miss" when it comes to the weather and November 11th is always a gamble. As a reservist (first with the communications reserve and now with the cadet program) I've taken part in countless Remembrance Day ceremonies and have witnessed our veterans deal with both the best and the worst that Mother Nature has to offer. The fact of the matter is this...a large number of our veterans are getting old. The brave men and women who served in World War 2 and the Korean War are getting on in years and bad weather can be very bad for their health. A large number of our veterans literally risk their health to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies across Canada and they, more than anyone, deserve a great forecast so that they can be honoured on November 11th. Tomorrow looks to be very nice for our veterans, our service men and women and our cadets. Although I expect a chilly start to the day, by 10am the temperature should be around 4 degrees with lots of sunshine. For those planning on attending Remembrance Day lunches or dinners the afternoon and evening looks even better. As an area of low pressure approaches (see image above) we'll start to see a more southerly component to the wind which will only help to keep things mild. With great weather expected please take advantage of the mild weather and visit your local cenotaph to pay respect to those who have served. If you plan on attending the Peterborough ceremony...I'll see you there!
