Well at least there's some active weather for now, I had a squall go through south Sardis around dinner time 6p.m. with dark sky's wind and heavy showers. probably the same one that drenched our Jr. always carry your umbrella Jr. during unsettled weather you never know. Nice to see some winter members lurking around still at least we had that pleasant stretch last week I hit 23c the one day Monday I believe.

Yeah I saw that on Global news tonight, making up for March I guess the next few day's look chilly as well.

I've been waiting for the rain train all week....still waiting. It better hurry up before the next dry stretch which could be sooner rather than later.

Looking back on this. That 57mm at Victoria is looking like a joke with only ~9mm so far. There should be, as we typically see on the South Island, some heavy showers later today when the winds turn SW.

Yeah, we all said this was a joke and we were right. :lol:

I'm at about 32 mm so far for the month. I was expecting to reach about 50 mm by this time tomorrow... however, the rainshadow might be too strong today.

Where have you been? If not for Miss Creeker watering the plants and Hound's fire hydrant maintenance this place would be a ghost town.
