☔OCTOBER 2019

🌧Precipitation🌦

Oct. 22 – 20 mm!

Oct. 17 - 50 mm over two days!

Pouring rain on Wednesday, 25 mm (1"). I'm happy for it. I can't complain. It could be snow, like Manitoba, still recovering from a massive snow storm. Power outages, trees down, First Nations evacuated. More than 6000 still without power, with another two weeks of work to do.

I did my usual morning workout, went to fetch trailcam CD cards, did some chores and it was time for a shower. I wondered about getting back into jammies and a housecoat, but resisted the lure. It is still raining! This storm is moving counter clockwise.

Oct 16 - Lots of rain, 25+mm!
