A weather alert has been posted for the Southern Gulf Islands for a strong arctic outflow bringing well below seasonal temperatures, strong winds, and a wind chill of down to minus 25 degrees Wednesday night and Thursday. You may want to keep your tap dripping through this period to keep from freezing.
Please check on your senior neighbours. A phone call to ask if they are cozy enough will warm your heart as well as theirs.
Thank you.
