The most exciting blog on the face of the planet is born!

  Three attempts to complete a weather project for a Geography 100 course is simply too many. In order to ensure that this attempt is my final and most feverish account of the climate in Vancouver over one week's time, I'm compiling all of my observations and conclusions in one tidy location-CYBERSPAAACE!


 Every day for the next full calendar week, I will be posting lovely, long winded recollections of the city's current weather and I will combine my observations with those made at professional weather stations to scientifically deduce the reasons why and how I've seen what I've seen. Amazing, right? What would be really amazing, would be to find that I have a single follower at the end of, or at any point during this one week whirl wind affair.


I'll be using three different sites to obtain weather measurements from:


The government of Canada's Weather office:
http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/canada_e.html


The Weather Network:
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/


CBC's Weather Pages:
http://www.cbc.ca/weather


  There will be all sorts of fun and fantastically difficult to interpret maps and terms coming from each of there sources, and I will ramble on and on about them in the name of coming to some reasonable conclusion about HOW ON EARTH I see the conditions I see.


  If anyone would like to toss some additional outlandish or conspiracy-esq theories into the mix, I'll be willing to consider their possible application in the project, so comment away!


 Despite how dry and unappealing this core subject matter may seem, the weather has actually cropped up to be an interesting topic as of late. In Vancouver in particular, there is some real concern surrounding the possibility of a tsunami rolling ashore in connection to the recent Japanese earthquakes. Can't say I'd enjoy such an event, but it would take a lot of the guess work, really, all of the work out of the conclusions part of this project. Why did I observe a 50 foot wall of water rocking through English Bay? Tsunami! Why is the entire west shore of the city now under 20 feet of water and looks as though a giant cheese grater scoured off the remaining buildings? Tsunami! Alas, if life were only so simple.
