Harrowsmith – September 2019

Foreword

Weather or not...

F

all is in the air, literally. As a meteorologist, I’m well

aware of the transitions underway in our atmosphere as

the sun angle decreases and winter’s touch draws near.

The sizzle of summer can be so fleeting in our country, which

creates a near fever pitch to have all of our dreams come true

within that finite, intense heat of July and August. But as the

leaves and temperatures fall and the nights turn crisp, there’s

a palpable change in our lives too. We are back to our daily

routines, meaning that for some of us there’s even less time

to enjoy our outdoor and indoor passions.

So, whether you’re forced inside to avoid a rain or snow

storm (those usually get me outside, but it’s the weather

geek in me, of course) or you’re headed outside to take

advantage of those remaining sunny, visually stunning fall

colour masterpieces (which are a bit of a snooze fest from

a meteorological perspective), this issue of Harrowsmith’s

Almanac has you covered!

Seasonal change teaches us to appreciate each of Mother

Nature’s acts for their own uniqueness. Enjoy the transition

and, most of all,cherish the wisdom this magnificent land

instillsinusdaily.
