A Familial Farmer Feud About The Weather Forecast

This episode: you'll hear from two brothers who farm next door to one another who fight about which weather forecast is better: Environment Canada or The Weather Network.

Then: a meteorlogist from each agency joins me to explain how and why forecasts from different agencies come to different conclusions about whether it's going to rain on while you're haying.

Thanks to Quentin Bruns for inspiring this episode; to Herman Bruns for hosting me for an interview; to Doug Gillham from The Weather Network and Armel Castellan from Environment Canada; and to my wife, Vanessa, who made the intro/outro music for the podcast.
