Below normal temperatures
expected to continue in Dec.
The weather rollercoaster that
Southwestern Ontario has been rid-
ing this year is continuing with be-
low -normal temperatures in the
month of November and above -
normal precipitation.
John Hoekstra of the London of-
fice of Environment Canada reports
that readings at London for the
month were three degrees below
normal and precipitation well
above normal, including 36 centi-
metres of snow. Readings for
Wingham and area will vary, he
notes.
Normal temperatures at this time
of year are 2 degrees Celsius for
day -time highs and minus -five de-
grees overnight, says Hoekstra. At
Mount Forest last Tuesday night,
the mercury dipped to minus -19 de-
grees, below zero on the old Fah-
renheit scale. That's mighty cold,
he adds, but interestingly enough,
not a record.
For the month of December,
Hoekstra sees the trend toward
colder temperatures continuing and
normal amounts of piecipitation.
As far as the rest of the winter is
concerned, Hoekstra cannot offer a
definitive forecast. However, he
does believe we could be settling in
for a cold season. Weather patterns
tend to even out over the course of
a year or a year and a half, he says.
Last winter produced record high
temperatures and the summer was
exceedingly warm as well. To him,
this means that weather patterns
will tend to stabilize this winter
with colder -than -usual tempera-
tures.
Much of this winter's weather
will be determined by Pacific
Ocean currents during the month of
December, says Hoekstra.
WTDH staff
honor
Dr. Bradley
The staff at Wingham and Dis-
trict Hospital took time out of its
busy schedule recently to honor Dr.
John Bradley.
Dr. Bradley started his medical
career as a general practioner and
anesthetist at Wingham hospital
and continues to relieve Dr. Marie
Gear on a regular basis.
He initially became a lecturer in
the Department of Anesthesia at the
University of Toronto in 1983. On
July 1, 1988, he was appointed to
the Department of Anesthesia, Fa-
culty of Medicine and the Universi-
ty of Toronto as an assistant profes-
sor.
Based on the excellence of his
teaching and his clinical skills, he
recently was promoted to the rank
of associate professor.
Wingham and its surrounding
area can be proud to have a physi-
cian skilled in this area continue his
association with our hospital.
