We had sun! A very lovely, crisp day.

I was quick to get out and enjoy it since we are about to get yet another wet system coming through.

It’s being referred to as a “cyclone bomb” (really? who comes up with these names?), which is a low pressure system with a very tight pattern. This means that the pressure towards the centre of it is much lower than at its outer edges.

Essentially, it’s a sort of hurricane (Pacific hurricanes are called cyclones), but because it’s occurring at a cooler time of year, it’s a slow, lumbering storm that’s more prone to dissipation and of course, it’s much less dangerous than the tropical versions. Nevertheless, it will bring very strong winds and buckets of rain to coastal British Columbia; Vancouver and Vancouver Island are about to get another soaking.

Here in the interior we are expected to get some of it in the form of more overcast and rain; we won’t experience the brunt of it.

It was important to get out and enjoy a bit of sun before more overcast arrives, but even clouds have their beauties and I can always dress for the watery deliveries they make!

Happy Tuesday.
