This morning's Oil Drum whacky weather comment this Sunday morn. I have lived on mid Vancouver Island most of my 50+ years. 20 of those years were spent flying float planes up and down the coast. Our big storms are usually called south easters, with occasional very nasty westerlies from fast moving cold fronts switching rapidly to HP areas...(Stanley Park in Vancouver being blown away by one such event). Anyway, this July was the month of rain. Summer started in Aug and lasted about 5 weeks. I have seen 35 kt se in late August, but not too often. Sept. is usually very dry and occasionally this dryness will extend all through October. Not this year. The river I live on is so high I can't even get to my dock and have resigned to seeing it 'taken out' by a tree. I usually pull it out after Oct 15th. We have had torrential rains. I expected to see Anderson Cooper in my driveway on the 22nd. Today we have another heavy rain warning...wind warnings...and can expect 40 - 50 kt winds off and on through Monday. This is happening 6 weeks early after no summer. In early Sept. we had mornings of 6 deg C....woodstoves going most summer mornings. Unbelieveable. I think Bella Coola is cut off from flooding. We just don't get this crap in Sept...but now I guess we do? I know this pales compared to what happened on the east coast this summer, but you folks actually get hurricanes and tropical storms in late summer/fall. We don't, or didn't. If there was a snow melt with this rain (which usually happens in November), our valley would be gone.
