Hey Chris, what do you think may or may not happen this evening?

We were supposed to get a high of 6 today and a low of 3 tonight. Considering we haven’t gotten up to 3, I’m thinking it may get cold tonight, and when that chance of rain swings along, it’ll either be white stuff, or warm up and just be rain.

Your thoughts?

I’m taking it to mean that “down right Christmas-Y” means the “S” word?

Ya I would echo what Bill said, unless we get some rain, the high tide itself shouldn’t cause major flooding.

Next week is looking pretty dry… and the week after… down right Christmas-y.

I think starting next week we will see a lot less rain than in the past month, in which case the high tides should not be a problem. If you can though, it’s fun to go down to Clutesi Marina to see how high it gets!

Has anyone heard anything about this possible flood warning that is supposed to be happening on December 2-3 because of the exceptionally high tide we’re getting on those two days? I would love any information…

Ya I noticed the Cameron River was looking mighty brown and unhappy. Hopefully the rain has stopped in time and there isn’t too much more melt off the mountains.

There should be a Flood update from the MoE within the next few minutes.

Just came back home after working in Nanaimo for a few hours. The Grove isn’t flooding over the road, but it has potential to if we get another wallop of rain. The river at the bottom of the Hump however is raging pretty good. I would say another foot, perhaps 18 inches and its touching the road.
