If you are on the Island, prepare to hunker down!

On the Island we are under a Storm Warning for two days.

www.weather.gc.ca/warnings/index_e.html?prov=bc

Wet snow then 90 km plus winds.
Lot's of power outages expected.

A Meteorological "Bomb" Will Hit Northern Vancouver Island On Tuesday

Collect what supplies you may need to hunker for a spell RIGHT NOW!

Good luck to you folks Nog.
Just checked the local weather here and is rain for the next 14 days.
Good thing it isnt snow or the lower mainland would be shut down.

Winds steady 35, gusting 55+ (was stronger overnight). Still predicted to increase to 85.

Rain coming down sideways. Snow up in the hills.

Pressure 98 and still dropping.

Litter, limbs and trees down all over town. Streets a mess.

Wheelbarrow jumped the 8 foot fence into the neighbors.

Power fluctuating like a pinball machine.

Hunting? Fishing? Nope.
