Feeling grateful today for the experience of a lifetime. 20+ years in broadcasting working with the most amazing, kind, funny, generous people, all of whom became my family away from home. I love you guys and I’ll really miss you. It was a good run,

To provide some clarity on my earlier posts: All of BC trends colder over the next several days as

Heat and haze persist early on this week, with near-record highs of 34 degrees inland this afternoon and 28 by the sea wall. Expect the heat wave to break by Wednesday, as cloudier skies bring scattered showers to help clear the air later in the week.
