Pissing it down tomorrow
 
Heavy rain all day on Saturday and we were supposed to go to the PNE.

Vancouver is no better than Scotland for weather :thumbdown:

Yes, it is much nicer on the east side. Not so nice on the left side though.
We have had 20+ for the past week or so with sunshine forecast for all next week too.
So look on the bright side, at least you don't have to water your lawn every day.

Maybe if you take rain coats or rain ponchos you can still go. Are the rides included in the free tickets?

Don't think so. But we do get a barbie there for free :thumbup:

I think we'll just have to man up and put the wellies on anyway.

I really don't understand why Vancouverites are smug, it's freaking June people and STILL RAINING.

apparently worse june on record...may was nicer! They are calling it june-ary in the paper.....

this is 2 years in a row now where summer is being elusive...never used to be like this. Summer used to be as dependable as the winter rains:thumbdown:

At least it's a bit better down here.

and oh, after 3 years in Rosyth with the Royal Navy, Scotland is way worse!!
