Weather Along the Canal System

Weather has always been an important factor in planning any navigational adventure. When the Canal was built, people had to rely on almanacs and rheumatism to predict the weather; fortunately, modern canalers have satellites and ground-based tracking stations which make weather forecasting less guesswork and more a science.
