June 30, 201411 yr comment_61981 it is what it is. oh well, the rain is nice. just tough when it rains for 3 days straight. the rain aint so bad even, the wind is though. so many downed branches on my street its crazy.
June 30, 201411 yr Author comment_62076 Yea the wind was absolutely insane these last 2 days.. We got downed power lines as well as trees and branches...
June 30, 201411 yr comment_62181 Are they operating the floodway? The river is crazy high. I havent heard anything on this yet. I believe there are hoops to jump through in operating the floodway to control river levels outside of spring flooding. What year was it, 2006 or 2007 -ish that we had rain all summer and they operated the floodway?

I believe there are hoops to jump through in operating the floodway to control river levels outside of spring flooding. What year was it, 2006 or 2007 -ish that we had rain all summer and they operated the floodway? 2010 as iirc. Probably 3-4 more times as well over the last decade or so. The river has been running high for several years now. The erosion must be pretty bad also.
July 1, 201411 yr comment_62411 The floodway is still empty as of yesterday... The rain is a disappointment... After the horrible winter I was hoping that summer would at least be decent. Zero beach days and its already July...
July 1, 201411 yr comment_62419 actually, the floodway has been opened. I drove by yesterday and it was pretty dry.
July 1, 201411 yr comment_62431 Southeast Saskatchewan got flooded big time. Highways closed and State of Emergencies called. Fortunately, Saskatoon didn't get hit.
July 1, 201411 yr comment_62493 Good stuff thanks. And yes what a lousy summer so far, hopefully things turn around soon.
July 13, 201410 yr comment_66044 I was sitting on the beach yesterday at Lake Windermere in Invermere, BC in a blast furnace at 36 C. Lovin' it while the polar vortex made it's summer return elsewhere.
July 13, 201410 yr comment_66066 Who is the Minister of Weather?? I demand accountability for this bullshit summer
July 13, 201410 yr comment_66068 I was sitting at Grand Beach and they evacuated everyone as a massive storm hit the area. This summer has sucked
July 13, 201410 yr comment_66075 Not a drop of rain at the Calgary Stampede this year which is amazing. Usually, there are nice days mixed in with hot, cold, rain & thunderstorms. This year,it's been warm &b dry the entire 10 days. Today is the last day.

This year,it's been warm &b dry the entire 10 days. Today is the last day. It's usually really hot during stampede with storms in the evenings... but yeah been super hot these past few days. Shame I was stuck working. Finally get summer and I work through it. Hope it lasts until I'm done.
July 14, 201410 yr comment_66280 Floodway has been opened up for a while and it's been rising. I drive by it twice a day to and from work. It's pretty high right now.
July 14, 201410 yr comment_66300 The river has dropped over a foot at Kildonan Bridge since they opened it.
July 14, 201410 yr comment_66458 Actually the floodway was full last week. I didn't notice it this morning but took a look on the way home and it's down again as well.
