Just an Inch of Rain

Everything is back to normal with November - a perfect November day started with rain through the night and kept up all day.  This evening at 5 PM, there was just shy of an inch of rain in my rain gauge (about 20 mm) so everything is good.  It's time to batten things down though - Environment Canada is forecasting -14C later this week, and that won't be -14C where the smoke goes straight up from the chimney, it will be accompanied with the wicked east wind (arctic outflow) that is so nasty.

I was comparing notes with a neighbor tonight and he was doing the same as me, moving all the things out of his unheated shop that acccumulate all summer that get ruined when they freeze...latex paints, glue, silicon seal and all kinds of surprising things that don't do well when frozen.  Grizzly

  1. Grizzly - Am thoroughly enjoying this blog. Looks like your "November assessment" may not be so far off. WeatherOffice is predicting temps in the minus teens this weekend for Bella Coola. How cold does it usually get there in winter? Thanks, Steve Ducey P.S. Is there a more appropriate way to pose questions to you as they relate to the blog?

  2. Enjoy your blog. Would like to hear about the people. The indigenous and others. How are the reserves nearby. Are there issues in regard to suicide? Hope you get a chance to snoop out my blog as well. Peace. T

  3. Steve - any questions you want put them up like you did, if you don't want it published, say so and I will try to answer in a future post and not publish your comment.

    Todd - I'm not an expert on the Nuxalk First Nation - they have a website (http://www.nuxalknation.org/) which may give you some more information. If I have an opportunity to weave some interesting people into the theme of my blog I most certainly will. Thanks.
