It's now just above freezing and raining.
It's warmer in Skagway than it is here.

Pigging rain. Keeping my fingers crossed that the thunderstorm warning doesn't drift towards us. We've lost three trees within sight of the house this year. And none of them were the ones I consider 'vulnerable' and would have cut down if it weren't so blooming expensive.

Yesterday I asked someone if they went to pick up some horses as planned or if the storm, verging on a tornado, put them off. "We went. There was a round bale feeder in the field that hadn't been there the day before. Came from across the road. Not even any scrapes or marks on the ground, just landed there".

Same in Vancouver today.

The weekend looks promising though with sun and 16-17.

It's threatening to shower, but gently here in the Queen City.

22 or so at YVR. A bit warm on the ramp but not too bad.

There appears to be a thunderstorm watch in effect today as well.

10:23 AM PDT Thursday 04 May 2017
Severe thunderstorm watch in effect for:

Metro Vancouver
Conditions are favourable for the development of severe thunderstorms that may be capable of producing strong wind gusts, large hail and heavy rain.

We've got flood warnings..

Rain, rain, rain and oh yes! Rain!

Not forgetting the storms later.

Sigh.

Weirdly, just took this photo and the bugger was back, just flew behind the tree before I could see if it was the same damn plane
