If you like doing things outdoors than you are automatically interested in the weather because it influences everything you do.
I picked up this copy of Weather of Ontario by Phil Chadwick and Bill Hume last week and I absolutely recommend it. It is chock full of details about Ontario's weather systems, records and changing climate.
This is a Lone Pine book and is available in all types of retail outlets, including places like Canadian Tire. I got my copy at Famous Bobbys tackle shop in Vermilion Bay.
This would make a great stocking stuffer for anyone who lives or vacations in Ontario. There are hours of fascinating reading here.
Our tiny village of Nolalu even made the book! It holds the record for the most snow in a 24-hour period at 101.6 centimeters, set on March 24, 1975.
And nearby Thunder Bay also gets a superlative. It has the sunniest winters in the province.
No wonder we love to live here.
Ain't Life Wild is a blog about the plants and animals of Northwestern Ontario, the environment, climate change and life in the world's largest ecosystem, the Boreal Forest.
