Sadly, there are many without power in the 'Lake Effect Snow' area, west of Georgian Bay this morning, Aug. 17th.

They predict 50mm rain for us for Tuesday. We'll see. We are usually the 'stone in the river.' Where the clouds dissipate before they get here. I do hope more rain is on its way. Too many fires about.

Aug. 13th Severe Storms in Ontario

Aug. 25 Tornadoes yesterday. Seriously.



Not as much as they'd predicted...

RVCA Update: SEVERE DROUGHT

Water levels in the Rideau Canal reservoir lakes, Bobs, Wolfe, Upper Rideau and Big Rideau, are about 30 centimetres below what are typical for this time of year. The lake levels now are what is usually seen in late September - early October on three of the lakes.

Levels on non-reservoir lakes have also continued to decline assisted to a large extent by evaporation of as much as 2.5 cm per day due to the recent 30 degree temperatures. Boaters on all lakes will need to be careful to avoid newly exposed shoals and rocks as levels drop.
It's time to cut back:

Typical residential indoor water use breakdown across the United States and Canada is:
Toilet
24%
Leaks
12%
Shower
20%
Other
4%
Faucet
19%
Bath
3%
Clothes Washer
17%
Dishwasher
1%

Aug. 12th

We're the "stone in the river." The rain clouds dissipate before they get to us on land, farther away from the Great lakes.

You can check forest fires in Ontario

Ontario Forest Fires
There have been four, to date.

You can check drought conditions in Quebec, and in Ontario.
