Today's Weather Trivia:
2008: Over a 6-week period, Victoria recorded a paltry 0.6 mm of rain.
Gardeners groaned but hikers thrilled at trekking the usually mucky Cape
Scott Trail. Tofino had water restrictions. Conditions here were even drier
than 2 years ago when the town trucked in water. The fire hazard was high to
extreme. Luckily temperatures hovered near seasonal averages. Otherwise
forests might have been ablaze.
