  1. Old growth trees being transported on #bchwy19 near #Nanaimo this morning.

    I would guess this is just one tree, likely transported by several truck loads. Looks like a western red cedar, about 200-300 years old.

    They are still logging these in previously reserved areas along the Alberni Inlet (Nahmint) and on the North Island. 😢

    These were in 8-10ft chunks on the truck. Not sure what their destination would be. Possibly chipoing for pulp/paper or 🤷‍♂️

    A total open fire ban starts today which usually means the forests shut down.

    Not sure if that is the case, as the fire danger is not extreme but any reason to stop cutting these elders would be worth it.

  6. Got to walk across an empty Highway 19 on a green light in the opposite direction. 😂 🚦

    The entire highway is closed between the south Nanaimo interchange and Northfield Road. (about 10km).

    All due to a big accident apparently earlier this morning. Thankfully, I usually park across the highway at what is known as the cheap seats lol

    So I took the back road/detour. Ended up delayed about 30 minutes.

  11. I like taking Hilliers Rd just after the #bchwy19 and #bchwy4 interchange. This used to be the old "shortcut" to go to Qualicum before the Inland Island Highway happened. Love this farm. Picturesque all seasons of the year.

  16. Quite a bit of snow in the mix on the radar around Central VI. If you are driving today take care on the mountain passes. You might see some rain/snow mix particularly heavy rain could turn quickly to wet snow.

  20. Interesting drive in this morning. There are already warmer patches of air in different places along the route from #PortAlberni to Nanaimo. -7 in Port and on the Hump, but only -1 at Cameron Lake. Then back down to -5 in #Qualicum and -7 in Nanoose and #Nanaimo.

    We'll see how this all plays out tomorrow night as the Pacific moisture comes back in.

  24. Radar shows snow headed toward Parksville. Strongest just north of Nanoose Bay. That hill can be treacherous.

  28. No snow over the Hump but it gets progressively snowier the closer you get to Nanaimo. -8°C with wind chill below -10. Nanoose onward, snow on #bchwy19 About 1cm of very drive snow on the roads in #Nanaimo. Drive carefully friends or take the bus 🚎 !
    VIU open for classes.

  32. Good grief. I have never seen a plume like that on Central Vancouver Island for a few years. And never in the first week of June. Taken from Nanoose Chevron #BCHwy19

  36. The Weather Gods are emphatic that it is not Meteorological Spring until Wednesday! ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️
    Heavy snow. Accumulating. 1cm in 10min. We’ll see how long this outburst lasts. Drive safely. #bchwy19 #nanaimo #bcstorm #bcsnow

  40. Now that’s local… Island is clear of precipitation except for an area of mixed rain and snow from about Parksville to Cassidy with heaviest in the Jingle Pot and Cedar parts of South Nanaimo including VIU. #bcstorm #bcsnow #nanaimo #parksvillle #bchwy19

  47. Roads looking even more treacherous today. #bchwy4 #bchwy19 Snow overnight reached #PortAlberni too. According to the driveBC cams there is snow falling in most areas of the Island but the radar is only picking up the strongest bands near Qualicum, Nanaimo and Cowichan Lake. Drive safely if you must. I’m thankfully able to work from home for the day! #bcstorm #bcsnow

  49. And this is why I take the bus even if it’s just a little… lots of flashing lights on the Parkway in #nanaimo due someone ending up in the centre median (doesn’t look too serious I hope). Always feel safe on the bus. #publictransit #bchwy19 #bcstorm #polarvortex
