It seems like the storms that hit the south coast have little to do with what happens up here. There is almost a dividing line, pretty much at Cape Scott on the north end of Vancouver Island. It kind of moves around a bit, depending on the storm. There can be hurricane force winds in Prince Rupert Harbour (some harbour!), and there won't be enough weather down south to get Doug Lloyd interested in even taking his kids out. And then, like this weekend, vice versa. It was a pretty rough, but nothing really crazy or unusual, other than the snow that hit - Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii both got dumped on, not just the inland North Coast. I love the snow warnings we get - Heavy snowfall warning issued for the outer coast, as much as 10 cm (4 inches) possible!!! - oh, and by the way, the inland north coast will get twice as much. (And they no longer even try to mention Kitimat, where they get twice as much again as anywhere else around.)
