Did anyone notice that while government offices and businesses closed down during the pandemic one government service kept going. Despite infection in an office in Quebec weather reports, forecasts and warnings continued. When did you ever hear on radio or TV that there was no forecast available? 

It is possible the forecasts might not have been as accurate as the reduced number of automated reports from aircraft which were not flying are now an important data source for weather prediction models.

Kudos to my former colleagues with the Meteorological Service of Canada.
