19 degrees is big...not enough to cool a house by itself, in most climates, but enough to help cut that cooling bill way back...

There's another planet in our solar system that's been identified by rotations of our planets not exactly in proper rotation. It's gravity is pulling all planets albeit small but noticeable. Are you familiar with this and how long do you think it will take to identify this mystery planet?

Well, there goes the weekend!

Nova Scotia Fire/Emergency/Info
September 19 at 1:09 PM ·
Hurricane Fiona is expected to impact the Maritime provinces Friday and through the weekend - the most severe conditions are expected over Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Every six hours, hurricane Fiona is projected to track closer and closer to the province.
Even if Fiona doesn’t make landfall on Nova Scotia, a cold front from the Pacific is expected to pull Fiona even closer to Nova Scotia.
If Fiona merges with this cold front, we can expect her to intensify even more before arriving, produce more rain and create a larger wind field nearing/ranging 1000 square kilometres. That means Fiona will become “post-tropical.”
Exact rainfall amounts, wind speed and wind direction remain unknown at this time. However, gusts of 150km/h or greater are not off the table - and rainfall totals in excess of 150mm are possible.
Fiona is expected to arrive as a weak category 3 hurricane, or a strong category 2 hurricane.
If this trend continues, this could be the strongest hurricane Nova Scotia has seen in history.
Storm surge will be a major threat, 30-40ft waves over some areas of Nova Scotia.
We urge residents to monitor closely.
