Looking for some 19° sun rays at the Falls golf course in Chilliwack tomorrow and hopefully shoot a birdie or two. Maybe even catch a glimpse of the elusive and diminutive sardineman as I zoom past Sardis.

Hoping for an unprecedented all Canadian tennis final at the Miami open, and Raonic is not even involved.

Environment Canada is so slow to update. They still show 12C with chance of rain on Monday in Abbotsford but latest model runs now show the warm and dry conditions holding on. GFS shows around 18C and Euro shows 20C. TWN has updated and calls for 20C but Environment Canada is still behind.
Seriously. :roll:

Cowichan Lake reservoir is down to about 30% of normal. A hot dry summer would be a big issue around the Cowichan Valley if things don’t change
