Weather 2018

The weather was quite changeable in 2018 year: 2017/18 snowfall was average with less in January (less snow but more rain!) and more in February / March.

April was cold and wet, May very warm and dry and June rather cool and rainy (which is normal). July was dry and my garden vegetables suffered (it also didn't help that they didn't get any care and attention while we were away paddling the Nahanni for 4 weeks).

August wasn’t any wetter and there was lots of smoke from numerous forest fires (of note: Telegraph Creek) although no densely inhabited areas where affected like last year (Williams Lake).

October stayed sunny and dry and we enjoyed hiking and fall colors.

Thanks to El Nino we had to wait for snow in December which was dry at first and then rather wet. Local ski areas opened late (my first ski day at Cypress was December 13).
