Yesterday 8:00 am to today 8:00 am -> 49.4 mm.
Today 8:00 am until now -> 20 mm (and still raining).

80 mm in Burke Mountain (420 mm for the month).

Unfortunately, I will no longer be able to take precipitation report after Sunday because I'm moving to Port Coquitlam and I will not have a nice place to install a rain gauge. :(

Pourquoi mon ami ? According to the snow photos you posted recently you had a townhome or condo ground floor unit with a nice good size patio. That's too bad.

I hope so! April 2016, May/June 2015, July 2009, August 2017 and September 2012 repeat. 8-)

Pourquoi ? Parce que j'étais locataire (d'un bel appartement) et payais 2 000 $ de loyer alors que là j'ai acheté un appartement (au 3e étage) et vais payer à peine plus cher question mensualités. ;)
