And another borderline setup on the morning of the 10th. I will spare you the maps.

Bottom line is there’s possibilities. Really hard to take the specifics seriously this far out.

Early to mid January looking full of potential. Right on schedule

Lots of potential (as it stands) going forward.

These control runs are funny.

Unrelated question. But do you know how to tell if a station has been discontinued? Shawnigan Lake has been silent on the environment Canada website since early November. It has almost continuous data since 1911, I’d be disappointed to see it go.

Solidly chilly with slop and perhaps frost. Hopefully this will be enough to kill the bugs and stop the weed and bulb sprouting.

I don't know. Sometimes the data is slow to arrive but I can ask my contacts.
