Weather widget - Freezing rain
Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) comes with a program called Dashboard which is an application where you can view and manage widgets. Think of widgets as mini-applications. They're actually all over the place these days, with Yahoo!, Google, Opera and probably many other companies producing them en-masse. In any case, Mac OS X ships with some pretty handy widgets including one for weather. As you may have guessed, I really like that widget have posted images of it on this blog. When I took a look at the weather widget today, this is what I saw:
I think that's supposed to be freezing rain! Pretty awesome image eh?
Welcome to winter
After a few days of bitter cold temps, we’re starting to see the kind of warm winter weather we’ve been experiencing over the past few years. In particular, check out that 16 degree forecast for Tuesday!
Summer time!
We’ve had all sorts of weather lately: hot/humid, spring-like and heavy rain but it looks like we’re back to good old hot and humid.
Rain in November!
Now that’s a headline you don’t see in Toronto very often. We’ve been blessed with unseasonably warm temperatures over the past few days making it seem like April especially due to the rain today! That’s right, rain in November here in Toronto. I hear the weather is like this in Vancouver for most of the winter but guess what? Lately, snow storms have been raging through Vancouver and Victoria (cities in British Columbia)! Looks like we’re not the only ones in for a shocker when it comes to weather these days.
Anyway, rain doesn’t bother me. In fact, I’m someone who loves rainy weather. It’s just something about the aroma, the sights and sounds of rainy weather that make me love it. Not only is rain beneficial for plants and other things, it’s something that fills the world around you with amazing sounds. It’s truly a blessing from Allah (subhanahu wa Ta’ala).
If I’m ever outside after sunset and it is raining, I’m filled with amazement at how reflective roads are to lights. Have you ever paid attention to that? It’s a beautiful sight. Being a photography enthusiast, I often think about composing a photograph and think about how awesome it would be for a camera to capture what my eyes see. Then again, the feeling I get can’t be expressed in a photograph.
SubhanAllah.
