Aberdeen Plateau Gets Dumped On


...more and more than people in Vernon may realize, especially lately.

System after system arrives on the Plateau where Duteau's water reservoirs are located.  Heavy rainfall frequently occurs as systems head east toward Lavington and Lumby on the plateau.

After three recent valley-bottom rain events, the Plateau continues to receive frequent--and heavy--dumps of rain.

Little systems arrive.

Within minutes, the Plateau's unique wind exposure turns small systems into larger ones.

All while we on the valley's south slopes are again feeling the sun's heat.
With nary a drop here.


Will Greater Vernon Water head up to the pleateau to update their reservoir level graph to reflect actual levels (versus this "estimate" dated August 15th)?




 
 "We may see that Aug.15th graph for some time yet," muses Kia.

You're probably correct.
