British Columbia Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth says the province is in "uncharted territory" with multiple storms approaching while it struggles to recover from floods and devastated transportation corridors. For some visual evidence of the latter, here's a photo gallery that makes a convincing case. Terence Corcoran points out that the trauma suffered in the Sumas Valley region is one of many since the area was drained to create fertile farmland 100 years ago, and should have come as no surprise. Terry Glavin warns politicians to abstain from empty platitudes and instead look for ways to help the people, because the suffering is real.

not the first time, won’t be the last time. and that’s not because of climate change, it’s because of human hubris (which also contributes to climate change but that’s not what’s once again apparent here)

Terence Corcoran: A human mistake — Why the B.C. floods are not a climate change issue — Financial Post

Edmonton back in First Place followed closely by Vancouver (rain let up for one day at least) Ottawa and then Winnipeg. Toronto is dead last again based primarily on high winds (and snowfall).

Winnipeg grabs the gold... Edmonton and Toronto are tied for second, then comes Vancouver (the rain is back -- take the laundry off the clothesline) and Ottawa is dead last (windy some; lose some)

Edmonton remains on top tied with Ottawa while Toronto slips to dead last and Vancouver and Winnipeg are tied in the middle.

Jumping the gun I am -- weather predictions are pretty good based on the night-before guestimation (I am up to my ears tomorrow). Edmonton and Winnipeg are tied for the win, then comes Ottawa and Vancouver only because it is snowing and blowing in Toronto -- dead last.

And so we begin the month of December with another first place win for Edmonton followed by Ottawa and then Toronto. Vancouver is fourth under the rain cloud and Winnipeg is dead last under the snow cloud.
