Sunny skies at the moment

I hope the sun lasts until we have our swim as a few clouds seem to be developing but no wind so we should be able to get a nice swim.   It got cold last night and the temp in the house was 59 F so we have the heat on to take the chill off.   I see back home is getting quite a storm.  I hope family and friends back home don't have any power outages.

Sunday, January 21, 2018, 9:49 AM - British Columbia is being lashed with damaging winds as a new system is set to strike in earnest.
Wind warnings are widespread across much of Vancouver Island and the lower mainland as of early Sunday morning. More than 40,000 power outages were reported across Vancouver Island and the lower mainland and some ferry crossings were cancelled, with strong gusts still ahead for the day.
"An intense Pacific frontal system currently over northern Vancouver Island will slowly move eastward across the South Coast this morning, passing through the Lower Mainland just before noon today," one such warning read early Sunday. "Ahead of the front, strong southeast winds will reach speeds up to 80 km/h, especially over exposed coastal areas."
