I agree that it was weird spring and summer, it was real nice to see spring come early but not the snow and chilly weather.

Hello Morris. Fairly busy I guess. Went back to Williams Lake on the weekend. Little work inside and outside the last couple days.

How is Morris these days?

Is Williams Lake in a remote area, something like a week in and a week out?
I`m doing ok, no cabin fever yet but I`m sure it`s coming again this winter.

No, Right on the main highway. It's where Mom and Dad still live. They had their 50th last Friday. Williams Lake is about 3hrs. northish of Kamloops.

No winter here yet. Had a fair bit of rain the last while. Today we hit a little over 14c.

It`s great that your working near your mom and dad`s place, give them my congratulations on their 50th!
It's been a mostly cloudy and quite chilly Oct., 17 cms of wet snow early one then rain. Unfortunately there`s still too much crop left out.

We are about 5hrs. from my folks.

We actually had a few stray flakes a couple weeks ago. This weather can carry on as long as it want although I am sure we will need as much snow as we can get in the hills. More snow=less fires.

We don't usually get winter prairie fires, spring ones are very hard to fight with firetrucks getting stuck in wet spots.

I imagine that could be a problem. We need the snow pack to keep the summer fire season in check, or at least help somewhat. Plus it keeps the river levels higher when the weather does decide to heat up.

We were always afraid of the summer field fires in southern Manitoba, 10 days of 104 in the shade and some ahole would flick a cigarette butt out the window while driving down a gravel road. pretty hard to stop a fire thats moving at 10 mph or faster. A handfull of years ago some kids were smoking in a bale stack that belonged to the Hutterites and it got lit up, caused it's own weather system of fire tornadoes.

Your BC rivers fill our`s so if the mountain snowpack is light than the river running through Saskatoon gets very low.

We didn`t get much of a summer here either Perry, it was hotter in April and May than the rest of this summer. The beginning of Oct was a lot warmer than the rest of it. Plus in the first week of Oct we got over 17 cms of that wet, icky white junk.




And you can even dress your dog for the occasion Morris...lol

Good morning John.
My dog thought that the idea of me dressing her up was too funny.
