i need 2 umbrellas... one for car, one for school
where abouts might i be able to purchase a quality umbrella?

I got a compact one from the Bay by a brand called Wenger. Over $40 but you get what you pay for. I can't stand shit umbrellas

Those small retractable umbrellas will always flip over when it is too windy?

If you're buying the retractable umbrellas, get the ones with springs on the arms; this prevents the arms from snapping in the wind. The umbrella will invert in strong wind, but you can just flip it back with nothing broken. These usually have a 'windproof' tag on them and are about 11 inches long (not the super mini 3-section type). I usually buy mine from Winners because they're only about $15 max there. The colour choice varies though.

NorthFace....you'll look like the typical CBC skinny gangster. Throw in some tear-away pants, Nike Shox...BAM, you's a G son! lol Oh, don't forget the skinny gold chain :)

If you want a golf umbrella....it's obvious you should visit GOLFTOWN :)

If you want more accurate weather prediction, go get yourself a barometer and read pressure changes.

o...m...g... tomorrow's commute is going to suck. be safe and best of luck on the roads everyone!

on a side note, i have my umbrella now :)

my umbrella flipped inside out due to the strong wind... :(
One of the strands broke.

At 4am this morning I was awaken by loud gusts of wind. I fell back asleep dreaming about tornadoes >_<

woke up to a cold room with no power to run the furnace this morning... no alarm either, but the wind woke me up anyway :o

Days like this makes me love working in the office, I used
To build gas stations and dreaded working in the trenches.
