Something to put the children of BC at ease and I am sure the rest of the country has followed suit. Including the Prime Minister.

Signy - I had to empty my ball jar rain gauge right before the new storm because I thought it might overflow. But I got a bit over 3.25" before I did. Since then I got just about 3/4" so far with this new storm.
My total this year isn't nearly as much as usual. Usually I get +50% to +100% of what flatlanders get. This year it's only on par. But I'm not complaining! It was looking to be a disastrously dry year, and now it's only going to be merely skimpy for my area.
After such a dry winter, with this late rain I can feel the trees wriggling their roots in relief and shaking their twigs in delight and going AAHhhhhhhh.

I've brought up this idea before but I think it's a good one. If the Sierras can't count on the snowpack anymore to store precipitation, maybe they can (re?)introduce beavers.
ETA: I just looked it up and beavers did used to be native to the Sierras.

It is cute and it gives the younger children some sense of normalcy since they can't visit their friends and such.

My boss and her husband are going to be so bored this weekend. No camping for them. All provincial parks are closed. Best they will be able to do is maybe go walking through Stanley Park.

Even the parks and beaches here are closed. Bummer!

Heard from sis that they got snow ... SNOW ... yesterday and the day before. SNOW! Just a light dusting, not a continuous blanket, but still....!

At this end, the (probable) last storm system of the year has propelled me to indoor work. Yesterday dear daughter and I cleand the living and diningroom. Not exactly the level of a spring cleaning, (I remember my mom's spring cleaning; it was her first day off from work when she could open the windows and air out the house without freezing us to death! It was quite thorough!) but much better than we usually do. Today, I have paperwork to do.

Hey Signy - between this most recent multi-day storm and the multi-day storm before this one, how much rain do you think you got?
It looks like I might have gotten about 1.25" in this storm so far (I might get some more tonight so I'm not dumping my ball jar rain gauge just yet!), and in the previous storm I got about 3.25"
So, so far, this month about 4.5". !

I think the stores are crowded because people are doing Easter Sunday grocery shopping and maybe even some late Easter basket candy shopping.
