LONDON, ONT. It was a scary sight Monday for some, as viewers in the region spotted funnel clouds forming. Residents who thought they saw a funnel and some ominous looking clouds were not mistaken, but this type of funnel is much less destructive than a funnel that would be associated with a supercell thunderstorm. What you may have witnessed is called a cold core funnel. Cold core funnels can form beneath showers and weak thunderstorms. They are most common in transitional seasons, like spring and fall. This type of funnel cloud forms when the sun heats up the lower levels of the atmosphere it causes convection to bubble up forming showers and isolated thunderstorms.
LONDON, ONT. Londoners came through in a big way Thursday for Virgin Radio and Pure Country London’s ‘One Stop Holiday Drop’ event. Several hundred Londoners lined up in vehicles to drop off toys in support of Tots for Toys along with food donations for the Business Cares Food Drive in support of the London Food Bank. Londoner Dave Cambridge came with a car loaded with toy donations, which he said he was dropping off for his daughter Kaitlin Cambridge. “It actually isn’t my haul. It was my daughter’s. She’s been doing a charity a month for the 2020 year. And this was her last charity for the year. She couldn’t make it so I picked them all up from her house and brought them over here.”
