Through Theweathernetwork.com we were able to have a pretty accurate play by play of what to expect for weather. This morning we had another marvelous day for working on the boat. We got two and some applications of fiberglass done outside. The fumes of that are quite unbearable so it was good to get done outside. In the afternoon we were planning to put on the first coat of paint on the canvas but decided to check the weather. Watching the radar screen with the time lapse images one can even predict to within 10 minutes when the storm will hit. This afternoon we knew that we wouldn't have enough time to let it dry before bringing the craft indoors. This storm -- seen in this image -- was quite pronounced, sweeping a swath some 400 kilometers wide and heading our way. We are just south of Ottawa.
There was no avoiding it so we took our project indoors before applying the paint.
40 years ago the only advanced warning was thunder 10 minutes, maybe 20 minutes before the storm.
