Behind the eight ball

Environment Canada, as usual, seems to be behind the eight ball as far as Hurricane Earl is concerned. Though various news outlets and forecasters have been talking about this oncoming hurricane for some time, my recollection is about 24 hours or more, only a few minutes ago did Environment Canada get around to posting a 'watch' on their Halifax forecast page.

I find this tardiness particularly funny considering that HRM has posted a notice/warning to its residents, as has Dalhousie.

Anyway, this seems to be just another reason for me to be disgusted with our national forecaster and their seeming inability to be of much use when it comes to providing timely forecasts to Canadians.
