There is an article about drought in B. C. here. These pictures are the 1,000 word shortcuts:

What, me worried?

Well, that's a pretty terrifying difference.

On a 0900 to 0900hr day basis we had 22mm yesterday and 135mm to 0900 today.

In a few days when the water travels down the rivers, our main dam (Warragamba) will spill over.

Lots of rain here!
There are flood warning for some areas, but fortunately this area is pretty safe.

Stay dry...

That may not be so easy...
Pittsburgh is off to its wettest April ever, on pace for wettest year in history

I just got a severe thunderstorm and wind warning.
We'll see what happens here.

Good luck. I just got a supper warning!

A handy 42mm of rain yesterday, slow and steady. 9mm the day before.

The Red Sox played the Pirates this weekend Randi and I am honestly shocked that the rain stayed away from Pittsburgh for the whole series. The crowd definitely looked quite cold sitting in the stands, though! Down here in Virginia it's gotten downright frigid again the last couple of days. I'm glad I didn't pack away the little space heater that I keep at my desk yet.

Yesterday, the 21'st, had a high of 49.
The Sunday before that, the 14'th, had a high of 82.

Makes wardrobe planning difficult, I suppose!

Nice day comming up. On the road today.

Randi- Understand it is heating up in your area. Be careful and stay cool. (sunburn- not embarrassment)

Yes, so far not pleasant, but not too bad....
