As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

I always thought that smell was Ozone?

Growing up i always associated that smell with earth worms. Maybe cause first thing id see after a good rain.


... I like the smell too but not while im trying to polish off my landscape project.

Yesterday was the biggest heat wave of the year for the Okanagan because it was the first time this month that it has been the hottest place in Canada. So hot in fact, that all 5 weather stations in the valley took 5 of the top 6 spots. I've never seen that in my life, so we could say that this was the most amazing heat wave ever.

Hottest places in Canada yesterday:

1 Osoyoos, BC = 23.9° C
2 Penticton, BC = 22.9° C
3 Summerland, BC = 22.3° C
4 Ashcroft, BC = 21.9° C
5 Vernon, BC = 21.6° C
6 Kelowna, BC = 21.2° C
7 Lillooet, BC = 20.8° C
8 Jasper, AB = 20.7° C
8 Montreal, QC = 20.7° C

From the way EC put the forecast, I thought we'd be seeing a reasonable amount rain. Didn't even rain a drop here.

UBCO weather station recorded a whopping 4.9mm of rain this month. YLW was slightly higher with 7mm but still well below the yearly average of 29.1mm.

EC is calling for rain tomorrow night, 5-10mm.

Wouldn't hear a complaint from this sector if we got a few days of solid rain.
