Thursday Declared Imaginary?

[da]

Here's my weather forecast from http://www.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca:

5 Day Forecast

Issued: 3.30 PM EST Tuesday 22 November 2005

Tonight:

A few flurries ending overnight then cloudy with 30 percent chance of
flurries. Wind northwest 40 km/h gusting to 60 becoming light near
midnight. Low minus 7.

Wednesday:

Cloudy with 30 percent chance of flurries in the morning. Snow beginning in
the afternoon. Amount 2 to 5 cm. Wind becoming south 30 km/h gusting to
50 in the afternoon. High zero.

Friday:

Flurries and snowsqualls. Blowing snow. Windy. Low minus 4. High minus 1.

Saturday:

Cloudy with 70 percent chance of snow. Low minus 4. High zero.

Sunday:

Cloudy with 40 percent chance of flurries or rain showers. Low minus 3. High plus 3.

That's all cute and stuff, but can I please get a forecast for Thursday? Y'know, the day I'm, um, scheduled to drive to my parents' house? The day that's threatening to be all snowy? *sigh*

Edit: It's back now; but apparently they skipped Thursday for all of Canada. ...Plus, an alternative site suggested by mynatt is down this morning too. :)

Hm, maybe it was so bad they didn't want to say? Hope not.

Hm, thursday you say? Everything will be ready! Just let me get started on cleaning things up....

I'm sure you've managed to find that information by now, but I've recently switched to reading the weather network (http://www.meteomedia.com/Meteo/Villes/Can/Pages/CAQC0363.htm), since they have more detailed forecasts. Hope the drive is okay...

Well I'm amused. Their site is down.

Looks like a sign. ;-P
