Darn right something's not right. Although it's just been raining like the dickens here in the valley, the white stuff is adding to the 2 meter snow base at Silver Star.... to bad the lifts stopped running almost 2 weeks ago! A 1000 meters of elevation changes everything. You gotta love the Okanagan.

Ill be wonderin about this Geo-engineering tangient if it snows in august. we should be used to this by now!
the other question i have is, "do we really need "weathermen and women" they are way off 90% of the time anyway. IMO.

Well I'm in BC now, but I can relate with all you semi-northern Alberta types. I lived in Cold Lake for many years and can remember that one July (or perhaps June, it was many moons ago) there was reportedly still a chunk of ice floating around in the middle of the lake. I used to swim in that lake! Nothing like a dip in those refreshing waters to make you realize just how 'alive' you are.
and again wake up to snow. Yes I realize could snow in July but enough already.

Sigh, still snow up on Silver Star but the lifts stopped turning a month ago and I should have the garden in by mid-week here in the valley.

Well, it sure felt a lot like Nov here in Vancouver area these last couple days, with all the rain we got. I'm sure the top of Whistler was getting snow, too, and Blackcomb is still open.
