We're apparently now at more than 100mm rainfall for the weekend, with another couple centimetres expected tonight.

FYI to #YEG folks: Most of the Edmonton area is now under alert asking people to avoid sending excess water down the drain because it might come back up in someone's basement. Beaumont & St Albert seem to be most urgent about it (I guess they have shared sewer / stormwater systems?). And roads are closed due to flooding in some rural areas

I didn't get a phone alert, but all the advisory alerts for #Alberta folks are available here:

Edmonton is currently trying to become an island with all of this rain and flooding.

Flood warnings everywhere. Please be safe out there! #yeg

Happy National Indigenous Peoples' Day to all of us living on Turtle Island. It's too soggy to celebrate in a big way here in #YEG at the moment, but I hope that all will recognize that we are Treaty people, in some way.

@linux_mclinuxface Only in #yeg do you have to worry about the electrons freezing if you don’t bury your cables deep enough 😉

#YEG is extremely culturally diverse now, so I don't have to travel far to get kimbap, injera, salted liquorice, squid, goat meat, and a huge assortment of items. My problem is that I get very excited about these items, bring them home, and then have to remember to include them in my cooking. Last week, I made a delicious Char Siu pork with cheap tenderloin, and I enjoyed it all week with a variety of sides. I replaced all the special sauces, which are nearly gone.

Okay. I think I’m overthinking this. It’s really not a far run and my yard isn’t finished (…not that I’m happy with that years after completion of the house) so messing up landscaping isn’t a concern.

It might be simpler to do a single mode fibre run. I have a concrete pathway between the two buildings that I could fairly easily hug with the run. Anyone done anything like this in #yeg? What depth do I need to go?
