Finally, the highest temp in BC (and Canada) in March was 26.1C in Cultus Lake (the 20th), very close to the all-time March record high for BC (26.5C in Chilliwack R. Hatchery on March 29, 1994).

Most likely that station is accurate I hit 25c here in south Sardis on that day I recall, I'm about 10km north of Cultus Lk.Canada Goose wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2019 10:01 am Finally, the highest temp in BC (and Canada) in March was 26.1C in Cultus Lake (the 20th), very close to the all-time March record high for BC (26.5C in Chilliwack R.

Re: March 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
I have localized the station but we can't see it on Google Earth. It seems pretty accurate but I'm not sure the location is perfect though.Sardisbcwx wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2019 8:19 pm Most likely that station is accurate I hit 25c here in south Sardis on that day I recall, I'm about 10km north of Cultus Lk.
When I go there I will try to locate it precisely.

Re: March 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
That sounds good Sheriff Gooser, can you also track down Gumplys location too so I can present him with the free tin of Sardis sardines he won in the over the hill snow contest. if he isn't playing golf he's running circles around Wrinkle Rock.Canada Goose wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2019 8:53 pm I have localized the station but we can't see it on Google Earth.
