Coastal Weather

Our thoughts are with family, Baldy family and friends who have been affected by the major storm still hitting hard with fluctuating high winds.

Update from family in Parksville last night - branches landing on the roof and the deck. My mental image of their property is healthy trees, not too close to the house.

Still Snowing

 

48 hour settled 22cms in the village. Some of it must have been at an angle. My roof overhang is 6ft, my deck sticks out 14ft, and there is snow under both right up to the cabin.

Most trees are heavily laden, some have shed some clumps, so that is another indication that we had some wind last night.

This stuff is fairly dry. Fortunate that BMR was able to do some track packing on the earlier wet stuff to set up the base.
