RASC: Extreme Weather of Western Canada | Calgary Public Library

Kyle Brittain talks about his experiences documenting the various kinds of high-impact weather common to western Canada during his time as a reporter for The Weather Network, including severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, blizzards, high winds, extreme temperatures, and wildfires – and what considerations are required to do it as safely as possible.

Ooh our WCO’s (Wilson Coulee Observatory) meteor cams caught a few last night, the first night of the year! #Quadrantids meteor shower, peaking on Jan 3!

98 detected on the West Cam (left) and 138 (minus some satellite trains, looks like) on the East Cam (right). #calgaryrasc #globalmeteornetwork #gmn #yyc
