I just use Environment Canada. I find their reports more dependable. The Weather Network seems to be too optimistic. I think tourism related companies pay for ads and it affect how they present their information.
Again, it's all a conspiracy.

Oh gawd, the app(Android)...swiping from the right to bring up your list of cities only works when it feels like it, and removing a city from the list is some blend of speed, force, initial touch point, voodoo and witchcraft.
When someone invented captchas to piss off internet users.
When someone said "hey I think our userbase can actually read that captcha, let's make it illegible"
And today's trend "let's attach a subjective multiple choice question to our captcha"
They have a new captcha system that I came across for the first time this morning. It is the multiple choice image captcha but the images change once you click on them and you have to keep clicking on all the images that match the criteria. For me it was clicking on the images with house numbers. When I clicked on an image it would change to another image sometimes with house numbers again and sometimes without them. I had to keep clicking until none of the images had house numbers. It was frustrating.

You are now not only the product, you are also their employee. Isn't the new internet grand? Just curious, was it worth it? Was this just for a news story?
The Weather Network having a clean uncluttered site that just gave me the forecast quickly without crashing my browser.
Use the Environment Canada website and put a shortcut to your city's page on your phone. It's fast, uncluttered, and adjusts really well on small screens.

I hear that. Nothing better than heading to the Night Gallery early, grabbing some 2 dollar doubles and playing the pinball machines until the party got going.
Arcades and pinball machines. Nothing better than heading to the arcade with a pocket full of quarters to play your favourite pinball machine.
Find a reason to go to Seattle and go to the pinball museum.
You pay like $12 and can play as many games, as much as you want, for as long as you want.
They have games from every decade including new ones - and most of the old favorites. Only thing missing is they have no Zone, which for my money is the best pinball game of all time.
But it is unreal value and any pinball fan's wet dream.

The fact that Sesame Street isn't on Netflix and therefore an entire generation of kids won't grow up watching it. Most of the toddlers at daycare seem to be all about Paw Patrol, Dinosaur Train and other crappy (IMHO) animated "noise".
I could easily see an entire generation happening that has no attachment to any of the Sesame Street characters. My son barely recognizes Big Bird but will go nuts over Rubble from Paw Patrol...
Sad when you think kids for almost 30 years watched Sesame Street.... This could be the end of the Children's Television Workshop....
