I thought Nelson was quite nice. Lots of friendly people and walking distance to so many little coffee shops, restaurants and pubs.

If you're visiting the kootenays then nelson is worth a stop, oso negro is a great little coffee shop , city beach isn't the greatest, highly recommend kokanee creek 20 min. away,baker st in downtown nelson reminds me of whyte ave in edmonton, liked all the little places along the way, halcyon hot springs, nakusp,new denver ,ainsworth hot springs, and out of the way town of Kaslo is surprisingly quite vibrant ,some neat highways, caught 12 rainbows at bear lake along hwy 31A on way back to new denver.

Nelson is really nice. Kootenay Lake and Slocan Lake area I really like. Much more beautiful than the boring Okanagan.

Re: August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
Once again...
Tmin of 12.0C in YVR, with an hourly min of 13.5C, itself lower of more 2C to the next hourly min... And it was a windy night.
I don't believe it. At all.
35.1C in Lytton (34.2C at the other station).
4.4C/32.6C in Merritt!

B.C. winter forecast: Environment Canada gives forecast for the frosty season
Winter is coming – but not for quite a while.
With that in mind, The Old Farmer’s Almanac, a popular reference book, has released its prediction for the 2019/2020 Canadian winter season. It notes that, “the western-third of the country is forecast to see a milder ride with near-normal winter temperatures and precipitation predicted.â€
The Almanac also calls, “for above-normal winter precipitation over much of Canada.†In fact, it refers to the upcoming winter season as a “polar coaster.†What’s more, it notes that temperatures will be higher than average across Canada, except in southern British Columbia which, “will bear the brunt of winter’s chill, with colder-than-average temperatures that include occasional face-freezing frigidity in January and February.â€
Environment Canada’s long-term Metro Vancouver weather forecast calls for above average temperatures to continue into the fall season.
Vancouver Is Awesome spoke to Armel Castellan, Warning Preparedness Meteorologist, Environment Canada, about what he predicts the Lower Mainland has in store for the coming winter.
Castellan notes that while meteorologists can speculate on the upcoming winter season, it is difficult to predict this far out. Moreover, he doesn’t foresee the same brutal chill in the Lower Mainland.
“It is extremely difficult to hang your hat on a precipitation forecast over a week out,†he explains. “We base our predictions on previous successes. We’ve had some years where our prediction was correct, but there has to be more to work with.â€
Castellan remarks, however, that the Almanac made one good point about the frigid season.
“There’s always major weather events during the winter. Whether the overall season sees above-average or below-average temperatures, there’ll always be some variation.â€
Castellan cites the massive storm in December of 2018, which cut the 470-metre-long White Rock Pier in half with its powerful winds. He points out that the storm took place during a stretch of fairly average December weather, and that winter typically sees a variation of weather events – but not always as extreme as the 2018 storm, however.
El nino southern oscillation, or ENSO, also affects weather patterns in British Columbia, and Castellan states that, “Right now we are trending with warmer than normal temperatures.â€
Furthermore, he notes that these weather patterns are expected to continue into December, boasting an overall warmer trend for the beginning of winter in the Lower Mainland.
