Question: When's an 'early winter storm' a 'weather bomb'? Answer: When CBC is so desperate for improved ratings that it'll use any trigger word it can find.
Okay, it may prove to be a bad storm and it may affect a lot of Canadians, even some of those people who live outside of the southern Ontario 'Core of Canada', where CBC seems to aim most of its news, but do we really have to exaggerate our weather warnings like this? We are Canadians after all. We are used to the extremes of weather. There is, after all, no such thing as 'normal weather' in our country.
My rant of the day is over. Thank you for reading this.
The weather bomb has not hit my house yet. I will let you know tomorrow how bad the winds were!We do get tornados in this region- had one in Vaughan last year- 200 homes damaged, people injured so no one killed! Oh about 8 km from me. So we will see if it is a bomb or a bust- will keep you posted.
