What are you doing right now?

Good job. I went to camp. Then went shopping at a local store, bought a watch. Then, I came to the library. (Where I am now.) And now I'm leaving, so I can walk home with my sister in time for her cheerleading practice. Bye.

O.O A mysterious van just took a picture of my house and no one else's... I am very creeped out now. It had  B.C licence plate (which I memorized lol) but I can\y look it up. 

 

I think I'm going to invest in a bat...

Whenever I hear this song, I think of Fate's fic. -.-

Video isn't important. Just the song. Unless you like Frank Iero. >.>

*glanced at the title* Really? XD I suppose... (Honestly, my group is legitimately concerned that Jess will one day snap and kill us all. I'm also concerned Nick will kill me, but he doesn't hang out with the rest of my group, so they're all good. XD)

[Lamp Post]

That's epic. xD

In one day the mornings went from 15/16 C (good running weather) to 8 C (cold running weather). 

Fuccccckkkk.

 

Not looking forward to my run tomorrow morning.  

Why is it so cold? x.x  

[EndOfTheEarth]

I'd tell you, but I can't find a good atmospheric pressure map for Canada...

[Xuut]

XD Thanks. I'd very much like to know actually, did you try http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/ ?

 

It's our government site so I figure it ought to be good. 

[EndOfTheEarth]

X)

That was the first place I checked. I'll continue to look around there and see if they have any proper maps.

[EndOfTheEarth]

Well, here's my guess.

There's this large L sitting above you right now, which means that there is a low pressure zone moving over your head. If the weather up there follows the same front pattern as it does down here, then you're sitting in a cold front (which, if it's connected to the same system running though here shouldn't be a surprise). What happened is that when you have a low pressure zone, you get a lot of warm air that builds up. This climaxes in a thunderstorm, and immediately after you get wind and the temperature drops as the cold, high pressure air moves in.

So, if I were to cut the atmosphere in half and let you see it edgewise, it would look like this:

So the temperature changed suddenly because that's how the system model works.

[Xuut]

Ooooh. -Understands-

 

That explains the weather for the past couple weeks. (Typically thunderstorms and all that fun stuff.) So eventually will we get warmer weather? Or will the September chill just sweep in?

[EndOfTheEarth]

All of this is relative, of course. You get this pattern in the winter too, the weather is 'relatively' warmer, then you get a snowstorm, then it gets really cold but clear. There's no way to know if it will get warm in the long term...you just watch the model move. You're looking for the High pressure zone to move East of you, and things will warm up a little, but that probably will take a few days, as the Low pressure needs to move first. It's that spot when the High pressure center has passed and the low pressure is still east of you that gives you the classic "good, warm" weather. The degree of what you get changes depending on how much of a high/low pressure it is.

 

As for when the "September chill" sweeps in, I have no idea. My weather knowledge extends to the typical system pattern you see above, not climatology.
