Looks like we should see enough rain next Monday to at least knock the dust down for a few hours.

It was pretty but obviously a good amount of smoke aloft. It was very hazy here today. Sort of a mix of a bit of low level smoke from the fire nearby and some upper level smoke I assume wrapped in behind the departing ULL

YVR set their all time record in July 2009. That record still stands. June 2021 didn’t even really come close to topping it there.

I hear Springfield is on borrowed time anyway.

ICON is rock solid.

We were terrible at fishing but it still made for memories

Rain came just a few hours too late. Hard to imagine the whole town is gone. Certainly parts of it are but hopefully not all. Fire crews stayed in town last night in an attempt to save critical infrastructure such as the hospital and water treatment plant. They reported a fully involved crown fire with 300-400 foot flames as the fire reached the outskirts of town.

Looks like a white tarp that someone left behind.

There were significant losses in Jasper last night but today is supposed to bring a substantial rain event.

barely a cloud in the sky here. Honestly, we could see a decent rainfall next week here but with the trajectory shown right now there is a chance the SE side of Vancouver island gets rain shadowed.

Looks like we might get a few hundredths of an inch early next week to save us from a rain free July.

I actually have a picture of my dad and myself as a child fishing in Jasper National park. It’s hanging on the wall next to me. One of my favourite memories of us together. He passed away in 2017.

The Maligne Lodge has been confirmed lost. I was just looking at pictures of Maligne canyon the other day. I remember going there as a kid
