The Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory has officially launched at #WesternU. Backed by 60 years of expertise in wind engineering and climate resiliency—and a $20M gift from ImpactWX—it will revolutionize how we understand and prepare for Canada’s most extreme #weather. 🌩️ 🌪️

So much to see at @OntScienceCtr - first stop was to visit the @westernuNTP /@westernuNHP team set up for the long weekend. Great to see so much interest in the display and demos!

@danmanganmusic Looking forward to this show!

@ottawavalleywx @ConnorMockettWX My guess is that ECCC would follow this method as well. I should have been clear this was an overall measurement (not accretion). By this method looks like it’d be max ~0.6” accretion at the time of measurement.

Pics shared from the Ottawa Valley during a break in the freezing rain - about 1”-1.25” ice measured near Pakenham and 0.75” near Fitzroy Harbour #onstorm

About 25 cm new snow in my Stouffville backyard #ONStorm

Setting the bar high for all future concert experiences for this young one - amazing show @danmanganmusic! Thank you @WintersongFest!

My first research job was as an undergrad field assistant for ELBOW 2001. Felt so lucky to be part of that team and tried to learn as much as I could from @dave_sills (which continues to this day). Some great opportunities here for students next summer with NTP and NHP – join us!

[Northern Tornadoes Project 🇨🇦 @westernuNTP]

The Northern Tornadoes Project & Northern Hail Project are once again hiring interns!

There are exciting opportunities for undergraduate students (any program) and senior high school students during summer 2023.

You can find details at the NTP blog:
