“Ways to watch the weather” by Vince Shuley (Pique, Jan. 19) was a great summary of a lot of the best sources for info on what could arguably be our favourite topic of conversation: the weather.
I’d like to propose one more category: Most efficient & entertaining—The Whistler Pulse Podcast.
Laura Hanlon’s weekday podcast has been my daily go-to for the last three years. She pulls together info from all the sources Vince mentioned in a beautifully concise and engaging audio file that I can listen to while getting ready or driving to the hill. Added bonus is that it’s totally local, so it includes info on things like road works, local events, and Coles Notes from our rabbit-hole social media groups.
Only downside is I’ve become so heavily reliant on her weekday updates, that I look forlornly at my Spotify on Saturdays, until I resign myself to searching for the info myself. Warning: highly addictive.
