Just had a very very loud and sharp crack of thunder here. Never heard one like that before. :o
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

Hubby and I went throw Williams lake yesterday. We drove to Hixon the night before to pick up out new pup and we were a little on edge that it was snowing lightly and we only had summer tires on our motor home. Luckily it was dry snow so it didn’t stick as we drove through.

Photo of pup attached.

Now that’s crazy! I thought the outflow event we had earlier this month was atypically late! And we had outflow winds in late September as well.

What’s next? A multi-year “outflow drought” where we see nothing more than fleeting accumulations of slush in the winter? (Sure hope not!)
