Go and do yourself and neighbours a favor by checking and clearing the storm drains on your block/etc.

Cold spell coming this week. If you have your external faucet on, you may want to turn those off from the inside ... evenings going down to negative.

^I just replaced my frost free hose bib because it was leaking really bad when using it. Turns out that the last cold spell we had, expanded inside the wall. I'm lucky that the metal didn't crack and leak. This time I'm going to shut off from inside the house and disconnect the hose.

Looks like a rubber gasket ripped. At least is is only leaking outside the house.
I went into the crawl space and there is only one with a shutoff valve was replaced by the previous owner.
Guess one of my to do projects this spring is to replace the 2 remaining ones and put in a manual shut off valve.

Coming back from surrey westbound around 11am, apparently it was near gridlock until hope according to a coworker. Unless there was something else over there.
Maps told me to drive through north Coquitlam because it was 65 minutes faster to get to Vancouver....
Never seen people reversing 300m from the main highway just so they can take the Coquitlam bridge route instead

Damn it.......... gonna have to go outside in this cold weather to check up on stuff leaning up against the garden sheds and batten down the hatches.
Praying no trees come down.
Living high up is great, because shit runs downhill, but you're basically at the mercy of the winds on nights like this.
Fucking pie plates making so much noise

Not liking the atmospheric river this week... at least when they happen in the middle of winter, they make the weather much warmer. But now it is just all gloomy and wet, with water everywhere...

I have to admit, Vessi shoes are pretty legit.
Of course with dumb luck, I went to two different places and parked in a stall that had a huge ass puddle right when I stepped out of my car. But my feet stayed dry. whew.
