We got a stupid amount of rain here in BC causing mudslides and mass flooding....Merritt had to be evacuated
The Coquihalla and the Trans Canada were shut down, and the military had to helicopter out people who got trapped in between mudslides....also a huge barge washed up near English Bay (Sunset Beach).
So odds are the rain clouds will travel over the mountains onto the prairies as snow

Sounds like Glasgow and the scottish west coast. I kid you not, it will rain every day there. Not all day, and sometimes its just like some misty drops with the sun out, but yeah, everyday. Dem nutters care though, allways up for going out and get mental. Love the place

Trimmed the bush but left it all on the floor....
Growing up we never really saw temps that cold, the last few years we have crossed over the -20 mark for a few days. I dont envy you folks up north. -40 and machinery doesnt even want to work

i did some work over there too and got to play golf 3 times in Scotland. didn't get rained on once. when i told the maintenance guys at the plant, they were like holy fuck, that's never happened in their entire lifetime. lol. that's a place i want to take my family to and do like a 2 week campervan trek through the whole country, especially the Highlands.

Dont get me wrong, theres plenty of no rain, just that every day theres at least some rain on the west coast. East coast a bit different. Its an absolutely lovely place, isle of sky and glencoe is stunning, hope you get to go.
Also, its like the country with the best branding in the world, theres no other place you can come from which is more popular internationally. Sweden, were generally very well received (fools and idiots, iM a bit of a Swedophobe), but not like the scots, everybody loves them to pieces, even if theyre drunk and daft.
Where are you from?

I'm in Colorado now.
When I used to do all that travel, I was in South Carolina. And single. LOL. Fun times.
I still have some Swedish guys that I worked with that I keep in touch with.
I'm half Scottish by the way. the good half of course.

British Columbia storm: Highway snaps in half, Vancouver cut off as province grapples with floods
British Columbia is grappling with the aftermath of intense rainfall, which has washed away parts of major highways and isolated Vancouver from other parts of the province.

Yeah, it's really bad, basically all the major routes to/from the lower mainland (greater Vancouver) are isolated
The USA is helping by relaxing COVID border rules for those isolated to allow them to transit via US highways

This world is virtual.
Most of the shit you read on here (the internet) wouldn’t be said to ones face. And if it were? There would be more consequences than being replied to be text

When u said u ain’t seen the sun for 3 days I laughed.
Longest I can mind was 10+ days without sun.
That’s why the Scottish culture has turned towards drugs. Escapism from the depressing place it ‘can’ and often is lol
