Gloomiest March on Record


Its official! This March was the 'gloomiest' March on record (since 1951). Only 70.5 hours of sunshine - half of the average of 138.4 hours. And we got rained on 28 out of 31 days. That is a tied with the previous record. And we got some record single days as well: 30 mm of rain fell on March 28th at the airport (YVR) beating the old record of 25 mm set 61 years ago.

Blossoms and flowers are 3 weeks behind. Not doing any planting yet (except for the peas ;-). Not looking much better after the first week of April either.
