There is still a wind warning in effect from Environment Canada for most of southwestern Ontario.

Damaging winds with frequent gusts of up to 90 to 110 km/h are expected to continue.

Environment Canada also posted blowing snow advisories for southwestern Ontario.

The Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority (LTVCA) has also issued two safety bulletins for the area. The LTVCA is warning residents in Chatham-Kent that waves produced by strong winds can push ice up onto the Lake Erie shoreline potentially damaging land and causing shoreline erosion.

A brewery in Virginia is releasing a new IPA that tastes just like Lucky Charms cereal. They made it with marshmallows and tropical hops so it has a sweet, fruity taste.

They’re releasing it on Saturday, but if you want it, you’ll have to go to Smartmouth Brewing Co. in Virginia. It’ll only be available at the brewery itself and local stores.

New technology will be able to tell you the entire life story of the chicken you’re about to eat.

There’s a company in China that has already outfitted more than a 100,000 chickens with trackers. The sensors upload information, such as how much exercise each chicken gets and what it ate. The company says the technology will be on 2,500 farms in China by next year.

They are also working on facial-recognition technology so that consumers can one day make sure the organic chicken they saw on the farm is the same one that ends up on their plate.

Soon, diners could learn about their chicken’s life story, living conditions and route to the supermarket https://t.co/IvLxMSiaWz
