I'm thinking of heading down there on Friday. Any idea of the road conditions?

4WD would be fine I'd imagine...but I think there may be another snowstorm over the next few days

This is what the Vedder looked like a few minutes ago at Peach Road when I stopped for a boo, no anglers in sight and its -10. That means cold fingers and frozen guides.

I just watched your video clip...  question: what is all that banging noise in the background?  Rifles?  or construction?

I heard that too today. I think it's the national defence or RCMP outdoor firing range in that big metal bunker thing? It's definitely guns of some sort and it is coming from within that area where the police station and military thing is...

It's your tax dollars exploding and vanishing in the air. ;)

Looks like I'll be killing more brain cells making plastic baits for the next few days.  Currently -22 C and with the windchill is -36 C in Kitimat.  Brrrrr!

Heres a shot from 2008 in Kitimat.  I had got off work at 7am and by early afternoon I looked out the window and saw this.   
:'(

Last year Environment Canada recorded 99.5 cm in 24hrs in Kitimat.  In reality there was 4 plus feet.  Then in typical Kitimat fashion about a foot of rain will fall over the next day or two creating a gigantic slurpee which ends up in my basement. 

Be safe

That's right and I had wanted a nice quiet clip, thought I should reshoot ;D it but I liked having the eagle in at the start.

Very cold today again, -13 with a strong NE wind.

snowing again in east chilliwack, plus wind blowing snow around, windchill minus 25, river a distant thought for me for a while now, hope it melts fairly slowly.

Would you like to fish in this wind that is now blowing in Chilliwack?

The wind continues to howl with drifting snow, sick of shoveling it.

Looks pretty tame over there Chris  ;D,  most the roads out here are closed due to full whiteout.

The river is low boys, go get em,  ::).

Yep... were fore casting 1 cm and we got 5 inches.
Not snowing anymore, but the roads are still a mess somehow.
Spent the first 2 hours of my day at the timmies here watching people try to drive up the hill, pretty funny  ;D
Fishing tomorrow bright and early!

The wind has died down some this AM and the driveway had not received much drifting snow overnight. I understand today is the calm before the storm and not looking forward to what is to follow, freezing rain, slush followed by flooding of the Chilliwack Vedder River in the melt. :(
