Me and hubby were expecting it to be cold even in summer (stereotypes in films etc are to blame for that methinks!) Also do you know anything about Nelson, it looks nice, but i dont really know anything about the area.

Thanks in advance
Jen
Hi Jen

I just happened to stumble across your post and tried to send you a PM as I didn't want to clog up the introductions thread, however, I don't think you have enough posts yet to send along a message to you.

I believe Kamloops gets similar weather to the Okanagan Valley, and we can certainly experience 40C in the summer months (our area is classified as semi-arid/desert)... it's been forecast to reach that high this next week. I live in Kelowna, which is approximately 2 hours drive south of Kamloops. Kamloops is in the Thompson region of the province, is situated alongside the Thompson River and is a growing city with opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. I'll give it some thought and ask a couple of people I know that live there and try to get you some info.

Ditto with Nelson.... my sister lives in Crescent Valley, which is just outside of Nelson and really enjoys living there.

Talk soon...
