After hearing about the weather in the U.K. on the last CBC radio news report, I went to the BBC website to see how the Dorset relations were faring. Here was the first thing I read: There are currently nine severe flood warnings - meaning "danger to life" - for Gloucestershire, Dorset and Wales.
The other main news stories on the BBC World News were all to do with the snow storm battering the North East U.S. and slowly descending upon us in Atlantic Canada. The video clip from Ohio informed me that our Ohio relations are up to their ears in vile weather.
Then I saw this, and found out about how our Aussie cousins are doing in direct comparison to Canada this week - they're experiencing an extreme heat wave: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-25590234
Short of hurricanes in Hampshire and Hereford, or an unanticipated tsunami washing away my brother on Vancouver Island before the end of the day, there is not much left in the meteorological department that is not being unloaded upon members of my family today. Yes - I know tsunamis are not weather-related, but you know what I mean.
And now, it's time for another hot cup of tea at my end. Good luck one and all!
