Perhaps lack of interest by now Grumps but your probably correct those jobs are mostly seasonal although it appears they extended it for a month l'm surprised they didn't wait to shut down until Victoria day.
I remember the year 98/99 Cypress stayed open until something like June 99 with a ridiculous base of 1000cm l recall. :o

Let's hope its correct. If we get hot weather instead...could the Fraser flood twice within 7 months? :shock:
A repeat of last June's heatwave would cause some serious issues
:hmm: :damn: :damn:
January 2025 incoming..looks like more Pineapples..Happy New Year! :think:

Here’s the ECMWF wind gust forecast. I chose this hour because it seemed like it was the highest in terms of strength of gusts for our area

A gradual ramp-up to normal would be nice. Get a gradual melt underway to reduce the snowpack before any real heat wave hits. (I cannot remember a summer without at least one heat wave, so it is safe to assume there will be at least one.)
It's called clown range for a reason.
