Some deep cold will reach southern BC too, but is forecasted for only a few days. The north has been really getting it. I hope everyone is having a safe holiday out there. #ArcticOutflowWarning #BCStorm #ExtremeCold #NorthCoastBC #GetPrepared

There is some wicked highway damage on the road from Hope to Manning Park. It's being assessed this morning but beware if you are trying to travel anywhere in southern BC. And as always, make sure you have adequate emergency supplies in your vehicle- water, food, blankets, dry clothes, a way to charge your phone, flashlight, and any other supplies that are appropriate to you, your unique situation and the area you are travelling in. Be prepared, be safe. #Get Prepared #atmosphericRiver

Some roads are slowly opening back up but the situation is quickly changing by the hour. Open roads might be temporarily closed again for avalanche control. Other areas are still on flood watch as rivers are still rising. Know before you go, check road reports often and be prepared for any eventuality. #atmosphericRiver #GetPrepared #winter

This is what our southern BC map looks like on Drive BC tonight. Yeesh. #atmosphericRiver #climatedisaster #roadclosures #Rain #flooding #mudslides

So I guess Seattle, south of here, is going through some stuff. This atmospheric river is a nasty piece of weather. It's happening here too, but not anything as bad as there. We had wet snow last night that coated everything, then heavy rain just at the freezing temp so the snow stayed on the trees then broke them. Power was out for 8 hours today. This is why I prep. Genny going for the freezers and fridge, 15 gallons of gas in storage for the generator, campstove going, pantry full of food, wood stove as usual. Power is on now and all is well but the rain has been pounding down the whole day. My chickens are outraged, everything is mud. I spent a half an hour looking for the electric fence ground-out while collecting eggs and topping up their feed. Got the fence going again finally. I really hope it dries out for a few days before the deep cold sets in next week. #atmosphericRiver #climatechange #climateCrisis #Prepping #GetPrepared
