The Stats Are In!

Time for a look back at the monthly precipitation statistics for the Bella Coola Airport for 2011.  For 2010's numbers click here.  Call it what you want, but let's just say 2011 was no 2010 and while in 2010 we were drier than Vancouver, the tables turned in 2011.

You can see September and December weren't kind months for us.   There is always hope that 2012 will be kinder.

Back on this week's weather, after several very acceptable January days, tonight we are back to a little bit of snow/freezing rain and the forecast is for a whole week more of freezing conditions with snow.  Grizzly
