November 2021 Forecasts and Discussions

[Storm]

Hmmm. 18z’s looking a little wetter tomorrow. Storm track shifting north slightly. Perhaps 10-15mm. Snow level looks pretty low though. Could be some flakes down to 300m especially on the island.

Someone should tell the Mayor of Abby. This morning he said no rain till Tuesday.

Coquihalla work ongoing right now as well. It will be a while but still glad to already see them adding gravel and fill to washed out sections.

Yeah that’s good news but will be awhile with the fluctuations in weather

Does he not have common knowledge never to trust a 7 day forecast… in the middle of the rainy season

I wonder what weatherpro is doing right now

They need to consult with their homegrown weather expert... JR.

When the Coq was built, It followed a similar path to the old KVR line. Thus why many of the exits are named after the old stations.

Interesting tidbit:

"This Coquihalla section was the most difficult section of the Kettle Valley Railway to keep open due to washouts, landslides, forest fires and the immense amount of snowfall each winter."

How far along the Coq does it run? I know Othello tunnels formed part of the railway, is that where it turns east towards the similkameen?

That railway was always plagued by disasters hence why they shut it down in 1961. You can actually still see remnants of rock beds if you ever follow the Coldstream River. Many of which have no been washed out.

It follows the Coq right up towards Brookmere, which is roughly 40km south of Merritt. Turns east there, then heads towards Princeton

I had no idea it traveled so far north along near the highway. Thanks for the info.

This is amazing but maddening at the same time.

You've gotta think if the military base in chilliwack wasn't shut by the federal government back in the 90s, they could've really helped in this situation.

Even still, it almost seems as though the response on the local level is being left entirely to community groups with no government action or assistance whatsoever.
