Cheech Wizard stories are clean, wholesome, reflective truths that go great with the marijuana munchies and a blow job.

Love opening the Environment Canada local weather page and seeing not one but two warnings up. Rain up to 150mm over the next couple of days and winds pushing 50 knots. I think I will postpone working in the woods for a few days.

I'm feeling old this morning - I remember when atmospheric river was a term only a few weather nerds were aware of. 2014 was an unusually long dry fall with no rain until the end of November - not your typical Wet Coast fall. We had a horse die unexpectedly so when the storm hit I was trying to get him buried. Nothing makes you question your life choices like winching a dead horse into the bottom of a deep muddy hole in the dark before it floods out while the heavens are trying to create The Flood V2.0.

The next morning I tried to get the machine back to the road and discovered I had to drive it through a brand new shallow lake we'd never seen before. Almost got to the exit point when the machine got stuck and made its own mudwallow, tried to back it out with the bucket and slewed sideways so I ended up trapped against a stump. Put in a call to a 5 ton wrecker with a looonnnggg cable and spent the next few hours sweating as the water level rose on the machine. Fortunately the wrecker arrived before the engine flooded.

Two years later atmospheric river has entered common usage and we're using the term "monsoon" less. The winters have continued to be unusually dry with these brief episodes of intense rain. We get up one morning in late March during an atmospheric river and the dog comes up from the basement leaving wet footprints everywhere. :stare: When we built the house code required one outlet on the perimeter drains, we put in two. As usual I'm paranoid but not paranoid enough; tree roots got into one drain and the other was flowing like a firehose but couldn't keep up -> flooded basement.

My neighbour was excavating at the same time and we were both finding a layer of dry, dusty soil about 3/4 of a meter down. Sure, why not? Dust is exactly what you'd expect to find when digging out your flooded basement at the end of winter. The deluge was raising the water table enough to flood our basement but not soaking into the areas where the trees needed it. Over the next few years the summer droughts kept expanding and the entire island started losing large numbers of cedar and Grand fir. Grand fir is somewhat adapted to dry sites so this is not a good sign.


tl;dr: Atmospheric rivers suck. Climate change sucks.

Tune in during July when I'll be bitching about forest fires. :corsair:
