Good good...

Let's hope this is a wet August. ;)
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

Not sure there's anything much better in life than a wet August morning in the middle of a dry spell. Just makes everything feel more fresh. Plants seem to perk up and I don't have to water anything for the day.

Impressive. Some pretty heavy downpours out there this morning.

Now let's hope we go another 26 days without precip. :thumbup:

I woke up at 4 am and lay there listening to it rain and enjoying the smell. There's nothing that smells as good as rain after a dry spell.

It over performed here, we had about 2-3 cm...need to get a rain gauge up, I just check out how much is in the previously empty buckets.

Yeah, definitely overperformed for most of the south coast. Widespread 10-20mm with local amounts closer to 30mm.

Cold front moved thru just over an hour ago with a heavy line of showers and moderate winds. Clearing now.
