Took my son to kraken game tonight. No bueno. Although he did get to honk the horn on the monorail on our way out so that’s a highlight

Fingers crossed guys the models still look like this in the am and then throughout the day tomorrow as well. Let’s keep these trends going.

Yeah, I do remember there being a temperature criteria a long time ago. Not aware that the wind criteria changed... I thought that was always 35 mph. Since the 2011 storm came up, let's take it to the extreme. I think temps in downtown Chicago were in the low 20s for much of the storm as the marine influence kept things a little bit warmer there than farther inland, but that marine influence also resulted in better low level mixing with frequent wind gusts of 60-70 mph near the lake along with whiteout conditions and a massive pileup of cars that were stranded for many hours on Lakeshore Drive. To think that that wouldn't have been classified as a blizzard in the old days... I mean, get out of town.

Turns out not to be so good....the submerged car has Urea in it, and the other cars have fertilizer. Anybody want to go swimming in the Wilmette in Corvallis? A little toxic polar plunge?

It’s a great little town and a great theatre. They had a weather station in Chemainus for over a century but much like the one here in Shawnigan they appear to have recently discontinued updating their data.
