Low to extremely low levels in southern half of province.

On Vancouver Island the snowpack is 10% of normal . Mt.Washington is a
large ski hill which was open for 2 weeks and then had to shut down -
it employed 800 people normally.

Climate change is nothing new , Vancouver Island was before the last
ice age , the current theory goes , drier with wider temperature
variations between winter and summer. Funny how only a 1-2 degree annual
variation in temperature can have such an effect on human activities
which are of course wholly dependent on natural ecosystems for
survival.... you know... water and food.

Oh well better get out there and ride that glacial melt - it won't last
forever.

It's terrible here as well (same part of the world...WA state, USA).

For several years now we've been having unnaturally mild winters, with
this year being one of the worst yet. I really miss the great storms
- - and accompanying big surf! - that I used to take for granted here
on the outer coast of WA. I really hope this is just a peculiar
multi-year "phase", as truly long term climate change (in the
direction of warmer/drier/milder) here would have a devastating
effect on so many of the characteristics that make this such a
beautiful corner of the globe. :-(
