October Update

Autumn is now here and it's hard to believe that the calendar has switched to October already. And of course, October means playoff baseball which is my favourite sports time of the year. To get you in the mood for postseason baseball, why not grab yourself a copy of my novel 60'6": Balls, Strikes, and Baseball Mortality?

My September at The Weather Network was busy and it involved me outside covering a storm in Southern Ontario, which included torrential rains, moderate winds and some minor flooding. Even though I got absolutely soaked, I can't wait for the opportunity to be outside covering storms again.

Also, I was able to return to my hometown of Oshawa, ON for the GTA morning show. My segments included a special appearance by my grandparents.

Here's my October 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 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).
