Good morning. First day back to work since the death of my beautiful big sister Lynn on July 5. Delivering your weather & keeping it together on air are priority one today. RIP Lynnie, the void you leave behind is unfillable.

It's not goodbye but see you later, St. John's! Reporting on a

It is every way inconceivable, and positively impossible not too fall in love with

I cut my aunt's grass every summer - she is now 87. So today I come over and she has an appt. She won't be here and what does she do...makes sure I have a cold drink and a lunch waiting for me! This is old school class & kindness. Thanks Lil!!
Projected peak fury. By early Saturday am, wind

on land, especially over exposed areas closer to

Current models still have super typhoon
#Hagibis
impacting Japan's main island this weekend. Currently this storm is at its strongest so far, with sustained winds near 260 km/hr & wind gusts close to 315 km/hr. It won't be as strong by the weekend, but still formidable & damaging

a well deserved pint at one of the few places open and with power! Great job by entire team from the field, the studio, producers, coordinators and thanks to those who agreed to be interviewed.

Well 2023 is off to a roaring start. I just spent 3 minutes looking for my phone. Upstairs, in the closet, dining room table. I found it though. It was in my hand the whole time.
Last report of Day 1 "the calm before the storm" atop Signal Hill. The view at night under starry skies is incredibly breathtaking.

I wonder how many people on twitter are strongly urging people to absolutely not be out during this storm under any circumstances, and then call Pizza Hut for delivery?

Spending time in the woods is great, but I am ready to get back to work! To those that messaged me their concern, I am most humbled. When you get up at 3am for as long as I have, sometimes the body & mind just needs a break. See ya tomorrow on

I don't think Trudeau's message could be any clearer. If people don't wise up and do the right thing, there's going to be a national lockdown. Life will get much tougher as a result. Its up to each of us. Thanks to those who already are & continue to do so!!

Suspense is building and so is the anxiety as Hurricane

nears the Maritimes. Updates all day long on

Wednesday evening & through Thursday a potent winter storm to bring snow, ice pellets & the dreaded freezing rain. Power outages could be widespread, with the greatest risk across SW ON due to the prolonged nature of freezing rain. High travel impact.

Best thing about this time of year...the sweetest smelling flower is now beginning to bloom. For the next 3 weeks or so, the scent of

is back to work? EVERYONE!! Nicole (plus a soon to be) is back on the morning show
@weathernetwork
. Waking up at 2:30 am just got a little easier 😴😀. Welcome back.
I suspect once the dust clears from today's storm across Ontario & Quebec, it'll likely be classified as a
#Derecho
. These are particularly powerful wind storms where criteria must be met regarding the storm's wind speed (over 90 km/hr) over time & distance.
I'd never wish a brutal storm on anyone. But when they happen, covering them to the absolute best of one's ability is a highlight for one in my profession. Unfortunately due to sudden onset of illness I'll be missing out on this storm. Stay safe & get updates

The police officer who arrested instead of shot today's killer showed nerves of steel. Hopefully we find out something in this completely senseless massacre such as: was this deliberate & methodically planned out?

Probably not the graphic you want to see first thing on a Monday morning in early October but somebody's gotta show it, so...it might as well be me. Sincerest apologies. I'll do better next tweet.

This morning I wore this new suit designed by

@weathernetwork
The Fire Danger Rating is High to Extreme in many parts of Ontario & into Quebec, and with the forecast calling for more
#hot
&
#dry
weather, this will likely escalate further. Please don't be the cause of a fire that may force people from their homes.
@weathernetwork
I am sure I am not the first to say this, but is it any coincidence that if you tweek the spelling of

you get

Anyone else feeling like

A sad day for employees of BELL. Many of them journalists, broadcasters and support teams who had their respective shows & positions terminated. Losing one's livelihood is a terrible thing.
