Most of the cold air we get here seems to come from Alaska. :rolleyes: :eek: :D

Foggy and close to freezing this morning, supposed to get some sun later. Warming up a bit to 7C/44.6F. Going to do a bit of pruning with my chainsaw today, take off some tree branches, less getting whapped in the face when using the lawn tractor.

That's a great idea. :):)

Starting to warm up a bit out our way, +1.2C/34F at 7AM. Looks like we are in for a few days of mostly sun so that’s great as I get the calves and goats out for the day. It went very smoothly with turning the bull into a steer yesterday. Then the neighbour stayed for a few hours, had more than...

That's great news, lets hope it all goes smoothly. :dance1::dance1:

Little milder overnight so only a light frost. Mix of cloud/sun and a high of 2C/36F. The new calf is doing well and taking its bottle with only a little encouragement needed to get it started. Will be interesting when it gets to the point they all want their bottle at the same time. Right now I...

High of 1C/34F with mostly sun today. Where the sun didn't shine yesterday is still under a heavy blanket of white frost. Ended up putting a good quality tarp over my portable garage. The one side of the roof gets the south sun all day and only lasted 3 1/2 years. So today we will clean out the...

Had about an hour of wet snow yesterday and expect more today along with some rain showers. High of around 5C/41F. Our road is starting to get pretty "pot holey" so the first chance, weather permitting, I will get it graded. Got lots on the go the next few days with going to a couple of...

Just came back from feeding the calf and it's a dark, windy :windy: and snowy morning. Looks like 1 inch or more new snow :snowflake: and it's still coming down. Wind is strong enough the snow is coming at you sideways. :cold: Suppose to ease off by this afternoon.

Had a few flurries overnight on top of the 4 inches we got yesterday, not much of it melted. Mix of cloud/sun today and will get a bit above freezing. Looks like we get to carry water to the barn and chicken coop, we have to disconnect the pipe to the barn or else it freezes up and looks like...

Went to put the woodstove on in the shop and had to fire up both the chainsaw and tractor. Must be my lucky day, the tree top landed about one foot away from the fence. :):)

-2.2C/28F this morning and a high of 5C/41F with a mix of sun/cloud later today. Still trying to figure out 1-2 things to get the wife for Christmas. We have too much stuff, it has to be something that is practical, usable and consumable. :confused3:: :rolleyes: :confused2:

Raining this morning when I got up although it is supposed to ease to showers or even a hint of sun this afternoon with a high of 48. November tends to be the or one of the wettest months here. Lots of snow on the mountains and think Mount Washington, about 1 hour drive north of us is opening...

Rain and lots of it, wind is coming from the south so a balmy 9C/48F overnight. Looks like we will have rain or showers the next few days. Played around with the engine on my wood splitter yesterday, a Honda GX160. It was a rental I bought about 8 years ago so has had lots of use, think I will...

Cloudy with showers this morning and rain for later today and overnight, high of 7C/44F. Need to fix the wood splitter, looks like the spark plug wire has broken off near the spark plug. Hope to be able to cut and reattach it, other wise it will be at least $120.00 as they tell me I need a...

Showers this morning with light rain later in the day, high of 9C. Roy, sure sounds like you are going to be a busy boy the few days. Had to laugh about your head hunters, I tried to work with a firm some years ago and I think all of them should be unemployed. They are like kings :thumbdown...

Heavy rain and wind with a high of 8C/48F. Not doing anything outside today but did get the pump out of the creek yesterday. Lots of rain forecast for the next few days and where I have the pump and its little roofed "shed" would get washed away. Wife's away for part of the day at a goat club...

Little warmer today with a high of 10C/50F under cloudy sky with some showers. Yesterday we had a bit of white rain mixed in with the regular rain.

Cloudy with showers today and the high will be a cool 6C or 42F. Yesterday I dumped out the water of the cow's trough and there was 3/4 inch thick ice :eek: on the top. Didn't get the last garlic bed done yesterday but if it stays dry enough will do it this afternoon.

-1.7C/29F this morning, yesterday the frost stayed all day in the shade. High of 4C/39F. Hope to get that last garlic bed planted, that's the main job for today.

David, well we do have bats around here but not aware of any vampires. Yes, we do sell it, it is part of our farm income. 52 are a new variety for us, Ukrainian Hot garlic. The other 930 or so are a hard neck Russian variety.

-2.2C or 28F this morning, sunny today with a high of 44F. Planted another 333 garlic yesterday, one more bed and that will finish it.

Frosty morning with a high of 48, should see mostly sun today. One of the sad things about farming. Today the 2 calves I bottled raised when we got them at a few days old are going today after my caring for them the past 13 months, it's never easy. We do them here on the farm so it's less...

Sun with cloud today and a high of 56F. Looking at planting some of our 1,000 garlic blubs we plan to get into the ground this week. Jamie, have a great first day a work. May it go better than expected.

I also have a light with a timer on it using a day light bulb, set for 2AM as my girls :chicken: like at least 14 hours of "daylight", so when I go out just after the crack of dawn there is usually 60-70 eggs waiting for me. :)

Got the clocks in the house turned back one hour. Will do the ones in the barn, chicken coop and shop in the morning. Looks like it will be a rainy day on Sunday with a high of 56F.

Big job tonight is to change all the clocks, I'm not doing it at 2AM though. Will set them back one hour this evening. :yawn: Cloudy with showers and a high of 54.

Clouds and showers this morning with light rain for later today and overnight. Highs have been around 54F for the past few days. Don, rather than where the car is made I think it is most important that your mother feel comfortable driving it. There are lots of good cars out there and think she...

Rained for about the last 30 hours or so, should ease to showers later today with a high of around 54F.

Congratulations :applause: on getting the job. Was a bit of a wait for you but way to go. Hope it pans out into a long term position. :)

Blood is thicker than water, so true in cases like this. I wish you all the best in the future.

Well "Sandy" is world famous, even heard about it out here on the "Wet"coast, was featured on our TV news last night.:rolleyes: Showers this morning and rain later today, high of 50F. Not much planned for today but I'm sure something will find me. :eek:

Showers with periods of rain today, high, LOL, of 46. Plan is to do a bit of clean up in the shop once the woodstove has warmed it up a bit.

This almost read like a medical forum this morning. Hope all of you and your spouses get well soon. A couple of weeks I had some real stomach problems, lets just say for about 3 days I got in a lot of seat time and it wasn't on the tractor. Sunny with cloudy periods and a high of 48. Been a bit...

Cloudy, showers with maybe a sunny break or 2 today and a high of 48. Going to help our neighbor get 3 goats this morning, it's about 1 1/2 hour drive each way. Will use my truck as it has a canopy on it. She used to own a cattle ranch in the interior of BC and is full of knowledge. We always...

Cloudy with showers and a high of 48F. Get to spend some money today on car insurance. Randy, hope the new treatment will help your wife. Jamie, good luck on getting that job.

Cloudy and chance of showers, high of 48F. Plan is to take off the backhoe and put on the box blade and will grade our private road. It's still in better shape than the government portion. Neighbor's wife told me yesterday her husband died Thursday of cancer. Didn't know them that well, they...

At this point is just a few flurries but they are forecasting wet snow. It will be too warm for any of it to stick around for more than a few hours. Wood store is on in the house and shop so all is good. December 24th could be a better day to see some of this stuff.

Wet snow :eek: this morning, well only a bit but prefer it up in the mountains. Hope to get up to 50F with cloudy skys and some showers.

Cloudy with a chance of showers, may get a peek at the sun later today, will warm up to 52F.

Haven't posted here for a few days. We are back to our normal WET coast weather pattern. Had a couple of rain storms over the weekend and anther one today. Yesterday was dry so got some nice composted dirt with the tractor over to the garlic beds to top dress them. High of 51 today and lots of...

Rain and a cool 56 for a high today. Got a few small jobs to do today, nothing to exciting.

Dull and gloomy, just like yesterday. We are getting "marine air" and a bit of drizzle thru the day. High will be around 64F. Trying to get a last few things done before the rain hits us tomorrow.

Mix of cloud/sun today and a high of 68F. Our high pressure ridge that brought us such nice weather the past few weeks is breading down and we expect rain starting Friday. It is much needed as we have had the driest period in 116 years. They are catching salmon at the mouth of rivers and...

Lots, tax is a good percentage of the total. Sad thing is they keep trying to find new things to tax us on. Just one stupid example of our government. Canada Post, a crown corporation lost money (-$327,000,000.) this fiscal year yet thousands (7,402) of employees got bonuses.

Cool clear night but just a tad to warm for frost. Blue sky, sunny and a high around 70F. Price of regular gas is $1.379 per liter, there are 3.8 liters in a US gallon so we pay $5.24 per US gallon and our dollar is just above par with the US $. :eek: :pullinghair: :shocked: :bawling:

Just after 2 PM out here on the west coast. Didn't sleep in but just got busy this morning. It's a nice sunny day and should get to around 70F this afternoon. Dragged out 3 logs from part of 1 fir tree and cut it into firewood rounds, will split them tomorrow morning.

No frost this morning. Still cool and clear overnight. Yesterday it got to 80F on the front porch, sat out there in the afternoon for a couple of hours and read, had a glass or 2 of wine, well maybe 3 or 4. Just outstanding blue sky and sunny with not a cloud to be seen. Looks like we will have...

Frosty this morning with beautiful blue sky and sun :) all day long. Will get to around 75F today, the days are just outstanding. Putting the fire on at night as it has been close to freezing the past few nights.

Light frost this morning and a great day coming up, blue sky and sun, should warm up to the mid 60's.

Frosty again this morning but sure gets nice during the day. Got our big chicken coop cleaned out yesterday and today I'm loading up the trialer with firewood for the neighbors.

Frosty again this morning. Looks like the weather patter will be the same for the next 2 weeks Cool clear night and warm afternoons with even warmer afternoons in the next few days. It's OFFICIAL, :eek: :shocked: we had the driest August and September in 106 years, that's when they started...

Frosty this morning at 34F, should warm up nicely to the mid 60's this afternoon. Looks very nice out with sun and blue sky. The showers forecast for last night never showed up although I could see lots of dark cloud around the mountains a few miles away. Lunch at the neighbors and then out...

Double post, sorry.

Ron, our gate we put up at the lake park has finally been destroyed. It's a crumpled ball of twisted metal. Bob, who lives next to the park and helped us with his tractor, said it happened way back around July 4th. Somebody got very drunk down at the lake and drove their pickup truck through the...

Cloudy with showers forecast for later today, high will be in the mid 60's range.

Cool clear night, the moon looked great. Cool today with mostly sun, should get into the mid 60's.

Sunny with cloud and a high of 68 for today. Had a few showers yesterday, just enough to wash the dust off the leaves. So far this is looking like one of the driest August + September's on record. They have kept on the forest fire fighters till we get some good rain.

Showers and cloudy today with a high of 66F. Going to take 50 meat birds into a new processor today, about a 35 minute drive. Be interesting to see if it’s a better than then one we have been using that is only 5 minutes away from us.

Cool start to the day at 4C or 39F. Should warm up nicely with lots of sun to about 70F. David, glad you are OK. A few decades ago I had a car turn in front of me while riding my bike and broke my wrist in 3 places. Got knocked out and witness said I flew 15ft high into the air. My fiberglass...

Cool clear nights, nice days with sun mixed with a bit of cloud, highs in the low 70's. Roy, sorry to hear about the job. Keep that chin up. Sure something else will come up for you. ronjhall, hope that ankle gets better soon, bummer when you can't move properly.

Nice looking salmon, think you had some great weather a few weeks ago.

Is your sow able to look after all the piglets?

Starting off a cool 43F this morning and calling for a high of 77F but don;t think it will get this warm. Mix of sun/cloud. Plan is to clean out a ditch, and then some drain rock, pipe and topped with more drain rock. May go in the bush and clean a road to a downed fir tree.

Here it is 6:50AM pacific time and it’s still dark out. Cloudy and a high around 70F for today. Thanks for all your kind words about my neighbor. They have been here a bit over one year and made it clear that wanted to be left alone. However over the year here I have talked to both of them on...

Our high ridge that has given us some very warm and sunny days is on it's way out. Cooling off to 75F today with a sun/cloud mix. Neighbor called me over yesterday to witness his and lawyers signature on his will, has been fighting cancer for 3 years but looks like it has become very active and...

82F and sunny with a bit of high cloud. Need to cut up and haul out a couple of fir trees out of the bush but we have an extreme fire rating so will wait till we get some rain. Roy, hope you get over that cold soon, bummer when you don't feel well.

83F and sun with blue sky all day long. We have set some altime heat records for the day near us. Our little heat wave looks to last a few more days.

Got to 87F yesterday and expect the same today. Sun and blue sky, kind of nice for this time of year.

Lots of sun and around 82F today, yesterday it was 85F, this is unusually warm for this time of the year. Looks like we will have a few more days of the same. Just finished loading my 5 X 10 trailer with green firewood so it's still heavy. This is going to my neighbors.

78F and sun all day long. We are having a great stretch of weather for this time of year. The next 2 weeks look dry as well. Makes up for the poor May, June and early July we had.

Cool nights that more are more than made up by the great day, sunny and high of 80F. Had to get the recoil spring on the wood splitter replaced, so splitting wood is the main job for today.

4C or 39F this morning, has the feel of fall in the air. High is forecast of 82 and sunny. Spent much of yesterday cutting up some downed fir trees in to logs that I could pull out with my tractor. This morning will cut some into rounds and this afternoon take out one more tree, I spend more...

Chilly start to the day at 4.5C or 40.1F. Forecast is for a sunny day and a high of 68F. Plan today is to cut up some downed trees into logs that I can haul out with my tractor. Well after coming in from my farm animal chores the temp had dropped to 3.1C or 37.58F, no frost yet but can it be far...

Cool start to the day, a chilly 40F at 6:45. Be a little nicer :rolleyes: at this afternoon but only a high of 66F. We did get some showers in the evening and overnight, might be a few more this morning and then back to sun.

Cloudy with showers and a high a cool 66. Plan to go in the bush and cut up a large fir tree.

Another nice sunny day with a high of around 80. Have picked blackberries 4 times now, great crop with lots in the freezer. :licking:

Cool start to the day at 45F but will warm up nicely to 86F and sunny. DAVID, sounds like you and your bike got a real soaking, hopefully the ride :cool2: today will be a bit nicer.

Glad you are doing well. Just stay out of that heat. :)

Cool this morning but should warm up to around 82 and sunny. DAVID, glad the job is working out great for you.

Sunny and warm today with a high of 80. Looks like we have a nice high ridge in place and should get warmer over the next couple of days. Jdgreen277, thanks for the kinds words, much appreciated. Sure miss the litte fellow.

Sunny and a high of 78 for today. Sunday was a nice sunny day but gloomy for us. We had made the decision :bawling: to put down our dearly beloved cat :cat: . We had rescued him from a resort at Canim Lake at the young age of 5 weeks. Once we got him home he started to have seizers and so...

Cool start to the day at 5.6C or 42F at 7:15 this morning. Mix of sun/cloud and a high around 72.

Cool start to the day at 43F, should get to around 70 with a sun/cloud mix. Got all my log slabs cut, the larger ones need to be split and then stacked under cover.

Sun/cloud mix today with a high of around 70. Will get the rest of the log slabs cut today. I have stacked the larger ones for splitting and hope to get to some of them this afternoon.

Roy, $200,000. for a nice spread, wow. Some areas around here that buys you a vacant lot.

Mostly cloud with showers today and a high of 69. Yesterday we had a couple of good heavy showers. Took some meat birds in this morning and after lunch will go back and do the bagging.

Mix of cloud and sun with a high around 70. Got the log slab pile down a lot yesterday, will do some more today but my back is feeling all that bending over.

Great news on the job Roy, it is tough out there. Guess that beer was a great motivator. :drink: :drink: :drink: :number1:

Had a bit more than a shower yesterday evening. Rained for about 2 hours. Today we are in for more clouds with a chance of showers, high will be around 70.

75 and mostly cloudy with a chance of showers. Got the cow field cleaned this morning, 2 big wheelbarrows full, will be working on my firewood for a couple of hours. Got a couple of plum trees that need picking this afternoon, produces small plums but makes great jelly. Yesterday we had company...

Been cool the past few nights but will warm up nicely to 80 today with a sun/cloud mix. Like everything else it is taking me longer to cut, split, move and stack the log slabs. Will spend a couple of hours working on that today. Company coming this afternoon so may have a glass of wine or 2 or...

A cool 6.1C or 42.9F this morning at 7AM. Almost feels like fall. Should be a decent day with a high of 72 and mostly sun. Still most of the slabs to cut, move and stack, looks like it will keep me busy for a few more days.

A cool 68 for a high today with mostly cloud. At least it's much nicer doing stuff outside when the weather is not boiling your blood.

70 and a mix of cloud/sun for today. After my company leaves later this morning it値l be out to clean the cow pasture and then some firewood cutting, splitting and stacking. Dgreen227, I hit the big SIX-ONE today Happy Birthday. :drink: :cheerful: :applause: :number1:

Cooling down our way with a high expected of only 72 and a mix of cloud/sun. Another lazy day, taking the niece and grand niece to the ferry later this morning and this afternoon we have some old friends coming for an overnight visit. As well we will have our good neighbors coming over with some...

77 and sunny after the morning clouds burn off. Today will be a mostly lazy day with the niece and garnd niece. Yesterday we took her for a pony ride, what a smile she has. :thumbsup: :)

A little cooler at 77 for a high today with mostly sun. No thunderstorms yesterday which is good, our forest fire rating is up to extreme so lighting strikes could have started fires. Will pick some blackberries with my 5 year old grand niece. Was going to the lake today but will go tomorrow...

88 and a mostly sunny day with a chance of a thunderstorm later in the day. Yesterday was the warmest day of the year, a sizzling 96 for us. Town about 35 minute drive to the west set a record for the warmest August 17 ever. Going to the beach with my niece and her 5 year old daughter later...

Hot :hot: today, 92 and sunny. Some areas may break record temperatures for this date today.

88 and sunny :sun:, trying to get all my outside stuff done by early afternoon. The heat :hot: later in the day is a killer. This morning I already put the 4 roof vents on the barn we took off the house. The :chicken: will be a bit cooler and hopefully not kick the bucket because they get too...

80 and mostly sunny for today. Big job today is to layout the 1,000 garlic we pulled on Sunday for drying in the shop.

30C or 86F is the high forecast for today with a mix of sun/cloud. Today it's getting rid of bits of plywood and OSB and what's worth saving will get nicely :laughing: stacked under the shed roof of the chicken palace. Starting to look clean and organized around the barn and coop. Got my niece...

On the cool side this morning, only 9.2C or 48.5F at 6:45AM. Nice sunny day though with high of 84F this afternoon. Been busy smoking Sockeye salmon and also replaced regular vents on the roof with Whirlybirds. Today the plan is to make some wire doors for the hay shed plus one or two others...

84 and a mix of sun/cloud for today. Had a surprise shower yesterday but only last for a few minutes. Took the meat birds in and now to clean the large pen, transfer the 4 week old birds to it and then clean out the smaller one for the 50 day old chicks I am getting later this afternoon. David...

80 with a sun/cloud mix. So I guess we over worked the air conditioner too much over the past couple of days when we were in the low 90's. Went out for diner last night and when we got home the house seemed a bit warm, fan works but no cold air. :eek: It's BC day here so it's a public holiday...

94 and sunny today. So our meat birds are going in for processing on Tuesday but with this heat we lost 3 of the bigger ones yesterday and today is suppose to be a bit hotter. We have three 20 inch fans at the windows and 2 osculating ones inside to try and cool them down. Going to stack and...

Hot at 92 and sunny. The 4 boys left yesterday, glad they are gone but will miss them for a day or two. Picking up the last of my hay bales today, 51 of them and that will keep everyone fed till next spring. Going to stack a few more boards, not sure how many I can do with this heat, things are...

Getting a bit of a heat wave this weekend, going to be 84 today and sunny with 90+ coming up. Our 4 boy goats we sold about a month ago are leaving for their new home today. One more chore will be to clean out the 2 largest goat pens and then rearrange the 4 remaining goats between the 2.

David, hope you get the good call today. 77 and a mix of mostly sun with some cloud. Band saw has been busy cutting lumber, some of it still pretty green, those boards weigh a lot. Still got the chickens and goats on lock down since our 2 cougar visits last week. Will let them out this week end...

Plan is to sell them. It is pretty nice wood. Will try and take a couple of pics today and post tomorrow.

David, glad you are happy with the 2 interviews, all the best in getting the call that you are hired. 77 and cloud/sun mix. Picked up 50 bales of hay yesterday and also started stacking some of the lumber the bandsaw guy is cutting. I am feeling old as I can hardly lift some of the bigger...

75 and a mix of clouds/sun today. New project coming up as I have a band saw mill coming today, he figures he will cut about 3,000 board feet. So I get the job of moving the boards under the shed roof at the back of the chicken palace and stickering it for drying. Then in a few days, once he is...

David, hope your head wound heals with no problems. Guess if you cut it in the hair area no visible scars at least. Cloudy with possibility of showers today. High around 72. Got some work done yesterday getting a ditch dug, some drain rock and drain pipe in it. Need to get more drain rock...

Mix of sun/cloud today with a high of 77. Got some firewood cut with a friend in our back 40, he was happy to go home with his truck & trailer full. Got sidetracked from mowing the lawn when the wife saw the cougar :cat: again in the early afternoon. Spent a couple of hours behind the chicken...

Mowed yesterday and will do the rest today. :yuck: :sweatdrop:

Mix of sun/cloud today with a high of 74. Have a friend coming over shortly and we will cut up some of the smaller trees that are down already for firewood for him to take home. He kind of likes it as I have a splitter and he just has to stack it when he get home.

Sun/cloud mix today with a chance of an afternoon shower. High of about 74F, yesterday it got up to 30C or 86F, a little warmer than they forecast.

Sunny with a high of around 82 is forecast of today. Grass is looking long again so think that will be on the agenda for this afternoon.

Sunny and getting to about 80 today. Still have to unload and stack my last trailer full of firewood. Kind of got side tracked by a close encounter with a cougar. Spent some time with the gun by the barn in the afternoon to make sure all the animals didn't end up as a snack. Everyone will be on...

So this morning I moved our 2 cows ( about 9 months old ) from the pasture in front of the house into the pasture at the back of the barn. About 1:35 this afternoon, as I was loading my trailer with firewood near by I noticed our 8 year old Lab on the other side of the far fence. She gave a...

Suppose to by sunny today but clouds so far, high in the mid 70’s but I don’t believe it will get that warm. Yesterday was cloud and cool the whole day, weather forecast got that a bit wrong as well. One more trailer full of split wood to load and then over to the shop to get it stacked. Going...

70 and mostly sun today. :) Yesterday got to a high of 66 with some good rain showers. Got all my firewood rounds split, they were stacked under cover. Had room under cover to split them with gas splitter and keep the split wood out of the rain. Today the plan is to move them to the shop to dry...

High is forecast of only 66F today, a bit on the cool side. Clouds/showers with hopefully some sunny breaks. Spent most of yesterday splitting firewood rounds, loading the 5 X 10 trailer stacked full and then shop and then moved it to the shop and stacked it under cover. Still have most of the...

Mostly cloud with showers and a high in the 72F area today. Good day to do some stuff outside as long as the showers aren’t too heavy.

Rained overnight with more rain/showers today. High of 70F is the forecast for this afternoon. Hate to say it but it was getting dry out there and we needed some rain.

82 and sunny, going to work in the bush today and cut up some more of the logs into firewood rounds and haul them out. Mostly alder and hemlock left plus one fir tree further in the bush I'm going to make a road to with the tractor to haul it out.
