This is going to be one of those posts where am going to ask you to do me a favour.
For about 4 months now I’ve been waiting impatiently for onlineradiostations.com to list our lil’ piece of the web on their service. As a specialty station offering the best in Top 40, EDM, Hip Hop, Dance, House and Trance, you would think that they would be more than happy to list us, right?

Well so far in four months, no response. In fact, when you try to follow up with a comment on their own site, it comes up a PHP error. Great! Your own contact form is broken?!?! What the hell is that all about? It’s an absolute pain in the ass, and since their website is also a Canadian one, I want to support them; but only if they will, in reciprocation, support me.

So, I wanna have you help me make some noise. If you have twitter, add something like this to a tweet:

? Listening to http://www.genzel.ca , but not on @freeonlineradio, since they still won’t list us. #shame #music #radio #edm #getwithit

Or Perhaps:

? @freeonlineradio isn’t interested in supporting Canadian Music, since they still won’t list @GenzelRadio #shame #music #edm #getwithit

? @freeonlineradio isn’t interested in supporting @BrantfordHipHop, since they still won’t list @GenzelRadio Brantford #shame #music #Hiphop

If you don’t have twitter, but have facebook, Comment on all their statuses, like so:

I’d love to use your service, but since you won’t list a fellow Canadian station like www.genzel.ca; I can’t support you.

Or:

How come you haven’t listed www.genzel.ca yet? With Exclusive artists such as DJ NME, Innesence, Del Reze, Maloney and Da Wiz Kid, and the best music on the air, they should be on your site already.

Or even:

You’re making Domo really pissed by not listing www.genzel.ca yet. And Domo kills kittens.

Really say anything, just make sure the site goes in there. The link will pop up and I’m sure they will love that.

This is my protest, and until they relent I (We) will keep it going.

More Freezing Rain Coming to Kitchener-Waterloo, Brantford, Cambridge and Norfolk

Significant freezing rain on the way. Potential for a major ice storm likely tonight for parts of Southern Ontario.

A slow-moving low currently over Illinois combined with Arctic air over Southern Ontario to produce a wintery mix this morning over parts of Southern Ontario. But the bulk of the precipitation is yet to come, and is threatening to produce quite serious consequences. The main precipitation is expected to arrive this evening in the form of freezing rain and ice pellets. It may fall heavy at times and be accompanied by a few rumbles of thunder. It will change to rain later tonight in most areas as temperatures rise above the freezing mark.

This afternoon’s commute should not be problematic, but deteriorating road conditions are likely this evening. As temperatures hover near the freezing mark, treated roads may tend to be merely wet while untreated roads may become slippery. Also, shoreline areas near Lake Ontario, including downtown Toronto, may see mixed rain and freezing rain, which will significantly limit the impacts in those areas.

The greatest concern is the risk of widespread power outages beginning this evening from downed tree limbs and power lines due to significant ice accumulation combined with northeast winds gusting to 60 km/h. Freezing rain amounts up to 10 mm are quite possible in many areas with some regions possibly exceeding 20 mm. The heavier amounts would be primarily to the west and northwest of the Greater Toronto area, over the higher terrain of the Oak Ridges moraine and above the Niagara Escarpment.

Rainfall Warning continues for Norfolk County, including Delhi, Simcoe, and Port Dover.

Heavy rainfall again tonight.

Several rounds of significant rain and thunderstorms have been affecting the warned regions over the past few days. Yet another heavy area of rain is threatening the area tonight as a slow-moving low approaches from Illinois. It is expected to develop this evening and continue well into the night along with more potential thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. An additional 25 to 30 mm are expected by Friday morning.

Snow mixed with ice pellets along with some freezing rain will begin in Southwestern Ontario Monday morning. Ice pellets and some freezing rain will spread northeast through the afternoon possibly reaching as far north as a line from Kincardine through Barrie to Cobourg Monday evening.

Precipitation is expected to change over to mainly rain for a few hours especially near Lake Erie and Ontario and across Southwestern Ontario. Snowfall amounts with this system will likely range from a coating near Lake
Erie to 2 to 5 cm across the Greater Toronto area to Waterloo Region and Stratford and 5 to 10 cm further north towards Southern Georgian Bay.

Depending on the temperature, Brantford and area could be in for a whack of snow today.

Rain mixed at times with ice pellets and perhaps some brief
Freezing rain has moved into Southwestern Ontario and will continue
its northeastward March into remaining districts this evening. The
rain is expected to become mixed with wet snow tonight, but will
remain more predominant near Lake Erie and along the shoreline of
Lake Ontario where temperatures will be slightly milder.

For areas farther north of Lake Erie and inland, such as Sarnia,
London and Brantford, temperatures will likely cool to the zero
degree mark a couple hours after the cold rain or mixed
Precipitation begins. If this happens, expect a changeover to all
snow with a possibility of 10 to 15 cm of heavy snow overnight into
Wednesday morning.

The heaviest snowfall is likely to occur overnight into the morning
rush hour. This will result in rapidly accumulating snow and low
visibilities during the early morning hours. Motorists should adjust
travel plans accordingly as this snowfall event may have a
considerable impact on the morning commute to work.

Periods of wet snow, possibly mixed with rain, will continue later on
Wednesday, but at this point, additional snow amounts appear to be
In the 2 to 5 cm range.

For areas farther north and inland, such as Stratford, Waterloo
region through Guelph and Milton to Orangeville and over northern
parts of the Greater Toronto area, temperatures will likely cool to
or slightly below the zero degree mark shortly after the
precipitation begins. If this happens, expect a changeover to all
snow with a possibility of 10 to 15 cm of heavy snow by Wednesday
morning. Should the precipitation fall as all snow, total snowfall
amounts of up to 20 cm are possible by Wednesday evening. Over these
areas, the heaviest snowfall is likely to occur late tonight into the
morning rush hour. This will result in rapidly accumulating snow and
low visibilities during the early morning hours.

Environment Canada is issued a special weather statement for Brantford, Simcoe, Delhi, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and the rest of Southern Ontario.

A low pressure system developing over Colorado will track toward Southern Ontario tonight and Monday. Precipitation ahead of this low will reach Windsor this evening, then the Toronto to Georgian Bay area towards midnight, and finally the Ottawa Valley Monday morning.

Precipitation will start as snow, then change to ice pellets and freezing rain. Precipitation will change to rain for most areas Monday. The main concern is that the freezing rain may last for several hours before changing to
rain. Untreated surfaces may become slippery making for hazardous traveling conditions.

Snowstorm coming Boxing Day?

A low pressure system is expected to develop over Texas on Christmas
day and then move northeastward to pass south of the Great Lakes
region late in the day boxing day into Thursday. Such a storm track
would place Southern Ontario on the cold side of the storm, with the
potential for significant snowfall accumulations.

Present indications suggest that the snow would start in the
southwest during the day on boxing day, and then spread eastward to
reach Eastern Ontario later in the evening. In addition, gusty
northeast winds would result in local blowing snow reducing
visibilities. Conditions should improve from west to east on
Thursday.

Current indications suggest that in areas from Lake Erie across
Niagara as well as the St Lawrence Valley area the potential exists
for snowfall amounts near the warning criteria of 15 cm in 12 hours.

Be careful travelling this afternoon, especially if you are heading north or west of the city of Brantford. A freezing rain warning has been issued for Tillsonburg, Oxford, Woodstock, London, Middlesex, Kitchener, Cambridge, Waterloo, Ancaster and Hamilton. Edit: Brantford, Delhi, Simcoe, Paris, Norfolk and Haldimand Counties added to the warning effective 2:30 pm.

The first real taste of winter may cause roads to be icy and if it changes to snow after ice is on the roads, driving my be treacherous. Be prepared for a quick change in road conditions.
