September Update

Well, a very busy summer has come to a close at The Weather Network. The highlight of the month for me came when I was covering the air show at the CNE last Friday. I had the opportunity to take a flight in a prop plane that dates back to Pearl Harbor. It was quite an experience, feeling the G-forces press down on my chest and my breakfast threatening to make an appearance.

But my breakfast stayed where it should and I didn't even cry, so it was rousing success. And a fantastic experience.

Here's my September schedule. Of course, depending on what area of the country you live in, you may not be able to see me at these times as TWN runs five different feeds: British Columbia, Alberta, GTA, Atlantic and National (all times are EST).

September 2 - 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

September 7 and 8 - 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.

September 9, 10, and 11 - 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.

September 14 and 15 - 4p.m. to 9 p.m.

August Update

I don't know about you, but the summers feels like it's just flown by. It's hard to believe that it's the first of August already. And beside the heat wave in Southern Ontario in the middle of the July, summer-like conditions seem to be few and far between.

I was extremely busy in July at The Weather Network and that will continue into August as I will be covering shifts for a lot of staff who are taking vacation. In fact, I've just come off a stretch of working eight days in a row. And I'll be in throughout the entire holiday weekend.

Before we get to my schedule for the month, if you're looking for something to read on vacation check out my novel 60'6": Balls, Strikes, and Baseball Mortality. You can buy a copy through my website directly from me and I will ship it out to you (signed if you like).

Here's my August schedule. Of course, depending on what area of the country you live in, you may not be able to see me at these times as TWN runs five different feeds: British Columbia, Alberta, GTA, Atlantic and National (all times are EST).


August 3-5 - 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.


August 6 and 7 - 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.


August 10 and 11 - 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.


August 14-16 - 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

July Update

The spring/summer months are definitely a lot busier at The Weather Network than the winter months. And that has to do with all of the active weather we see across the country during warmer months, causing us to tweak our regular coverage to focus solely on the storms.

June saw tornado warnings in southwestern Ontario and a series of thunderstorms that required wall-to-wall coverage, as well as the terrible flooding in Alberta which dominated TWN programming for about a week.

Before I get into my July schedule, I just wanted to let my Ontario followers know that I have another book signing of my novel, 60'6": Balls, Strikes, and Baseball Mortality, at the Chapters right across the street from the TWN offices (3050 Vega Blvd, Mississauga, ON; right at Dundas and the 403). The signing is on Saturday, July 13, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Hope to see you there!
