Doubt it. 3 inches over a few days isn't that much. Abbotsford has had over 3 inches in a 24 hour period in the past.

Yeah I can confirm this, more or less.

We basically get ~2x the amount of rain as YVR, if not more.

Looking nice and warm to end the month and open October. The last gasp of summer before the wet season sets in for good.
