Environment Canada says its gonna be a very cold start to the new year eh

"2017 is about to end with the coldest air of the year. A fresh surge of record-breaking Arctic air is forecast to encompass the entire province in its icy grip. A trough of low pressure currently over Southern Ontario will drop south of the Great Lakes tonight, opening the door to an even colder northerly wind."

whoever at Environment Canada is writing the copy for these Extreme cold weather warnings, you are doing a great job, thank you

@staticsafe

But what is up with the Environment Canada RSS weather feed? It will be silent for ages, and then there will be a couple of posts that tell me that there are no warnings in effect. So, if no warnings, why post? Very peculiar.

@mirabilis yeah its a bit weird but I guess the way their software works, every time they have to clear out a warning/advisory it counts as another post hence the "no warnings in effect" posts

Mirabilis @mirabilis

@staticsafe So you've noticed these, too? For years I have wondered if I am the sole user of their RSS feeds, and the only one who has noticed.
