September and early October are usually very warm and dry.
Yet this year it's wet and cold since mid-Sept.
Strange!

Yesterday we had a high of 8 C/46.4 F

The high mountain passes will get snow for the next 4 or 5 days.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Up in the mountains maybe but there's no snow down in the valley. Not yet anyway. 🙂

Regards,

I read an interesting comment in a Golf magazine about how weather is reported.

The guy suggested "instead of saying 30 per cent chance of showers, how
about saying 70 per cent chance of a fair day".
Good point.

But that's the nature of weather...and news reporting.
Crappy news gets the headlines. 😉

If you take a look at the forcast for Caledonia ontario it will show whats going on here..Its freakin warm, and getting warmer. Very odd..we are used to frost by now. I thing Oct 7 is supposed to be 34 with humidex. I am going to Mexico soon and i will be dissapointed if we leave here and it's nice warm weather. This would be great winter weather for all of us.

Perhaps a winter low of 60f (15c) for youz there !? ... and 15f (-9.4c) here on the west coast. I belileve cool / cold air will prevail over the PNW region for the first half of autumn/winter. Milder here to some extent in mid January and a chilly period again in early February.
We'll be seeking advise from Arctic Palm while he and his palms soak up the warm winter 2007/08 sun! Start planting your borderline palms now.

Cheers, Barrie.

We have had frost overnight in Edmonton for most of the last 2 weeks. Not much unusual in that although the temperatures are 2 or 3 C below normal.

You don't have to be crazy to grow palms in Alberta..... But it helps

Hey Barrie,

You do know that we here in Ontario WILL pay for this nice weather. It happens every year. We are sitting pretty till december or jan then it hits. Freezing rain, slush, snow, freezing drizzle.
So I will enjoy my 28c degree days, because very very soon you will be hearing about the Ontario snow storms on the news 😥

Viva Summer!!!!!!!

Vernon (35 miles north of Kelowna) was gorgeous yesterday UNTIL 2:30 pm when a gigantic black cloud
arrived with very strong winds, and ....

YUP, HAIL ON THE LAWNCHAIR !!

Today it poured cats and dogs, now the sun's shining.
Weird weather.

Talked to a man and his daughter yesterday who were MOVING TO TORONTO today.
He says he'll come back to the Okanagan for his holidays.

Arctic, have a good vac in Mexico.
