pfft, tell that to 'couverites in February, when everyone's grumpy from SAD syndrome.

Still, I must say the rain takes years off the skin! So there are some upsides.

It's just been raining here. I almost didn't go swimming as I didn't want to get wet.

Its all bloody lovely isn't it? Especially when you're stuck inside catching up on paperwork and your so-called mates are texting you every ten minutes about another large fish they've caught and how nice the weather is. They can all naff off. :frown:

I should be in Van by suppertime, and I fly back to Regina on Sunday. After I'm gone it can snow here for all I care. Who's up for a trip to the WISE in the next few days? I'm a bit dissappointed they aren't open in the afternoons, but that's ok.

It really feels like the Fraser Valley has a bit of a microclimate, the weather here is really good. Hopefully eventually I'll have a deck to enjoy it on by next summer.

I think we've just had the best 10-days-in-a-row since we came here. Beautiful! Low to mid-20's, bright blue sky, no clouds (or chemtrails!!), slight breezes, no humidity.... perfect summer weather, actually! We were expecting rain today, but it didn't arrive.... good ol' Canadian weather forecasters!!

It makes up for the crap winter!

It's cause there is no science to it, it's a finger up in the air and see which way the wind is blowing method :rofl:

Unfortunately the rain has stopped. I was planning on waiting it out in the pub across the way. :(

Is it windy though?, best to be safe rather than sorry and have a couple more pints while you wait it out. Best to make sure it's safe to get back :rofl:

We're so dry, we've even started the fire hazard warnings.

Even though we're expecting 5cm of snow, and -2 tonight, on a positive note we've made a fire again... which is nice!

I'll trade you 5cm of snow for 10 - 15 mm of rain....?

No thanks!! Anyway, woke up this morning to bright sunshine and no snow. Either it snowed in the early hours and didn't settle, or the weatherman got it wrong. I know where I'd put my money!!:)

I'm sure Auld Yin will be along shortly to advise you ' if you don't like it there, move'.

It's fine here, 22 and partly cloudy - the storm passed to the north of us so only a little rain fell during the night. Starting Thursday we have a chance of showers continuing through the weekend. If the farmers with wet fields can't get out seeding soon they won't have a crop.
