Situation Update No. 1 on January 12 2020 05:23 PM (UTC) "Ontario residents woke up on Sunday to a highly unusual alert from provincial authorities reporting about an incident at the nuclear power station in Pickering.For those in Canada who haven't watched HBO's Chernobyl, the news from Pickering was a good reason to look up some info on the dangers of mismanaged nuclear power.Authorities in the Province of Ontario on Sunday morning sent out an emergency bulletin after what they called an "incident" at the Pickering Nuclear Power Generation Station. The alert assured locals that there had been "no abnormal release of radioactivity" within close proximity to the station, without going into further detail.Although Pickering officials soon said that the alert had been put up by mistake - presumably triggered by a test of the emergency alert system - the panic had already spread across social media.Completed in 1971, the Pickering plant is sitting on the northern shore of Lake Ontario just east of Toronto. Scheduled to be shut down in 2024, it is Canada's third-largest nuclear power station, producing about 16 percent of Ontario's power and providing over 7,000 jobs, if staff and suppliers are included.The plant has seen several accidents of varying severity since the 1970s, including a loss of coolant accident in 1983 and a spill of 185 tonnes of heavy water in 1994."

In 2017 we saw the most costly damage from weather the United States has ever seen. In the first weeks of 2018 we have seen blizzards and snow from Florida to Maine, 40 degree temperature swings and deadly flooding in California. The crazy, unpredictable weather is being felt and observed by Glp'ers from all over the world.
The goal of this thread is simply to observe, compare and contrast forecasts - to what really ends up happening. Meteorologists are wrong - ALOT. It would seem the weather has been getting harder to predict, and the storms are becoming intense. Here maybe we can piece together the puzzling weather of late. I've been wanting to create this thread for a while, because it baffles me how inaccurate forecasts have been in the past, and even more so as of recently! Here we can have a template of what was predicted, what really happened and maybe it'll help shed light on what we can expect in the future!
Feel free to post anything weather related. From links, to videos to your daily weather forecast and/or observations. The more data the better. I will give daily forecasts for a few cities including my current location. This should be interesting and fun. I'll try my hardest to update here on the regular. But i sure could use some help from you fine GLP weathertards.
