Re: April 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
I'm not minding this weather at all I know at some point we will get blistering heat so right now it's nice to know I won't sweat when I venture outside.

Re: April 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
Both the Pens and Lightning have now won just as many playoff games this year as the Canucks. Brutal for them.
It appears that the Lightning knocked out the power in Tampa. Fork in the cup and the transformer blew. Lights went off and now they are golfing.

Re: April 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
Last year. April used to have freezes every year, often more than once. I don't quite know when it started to become less common, but it's definitely not as common nowadays.Sardisbcwx wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 2:52 pm I meant to say when was the last time the valley had 0c in April? maybe it wasn't that long ago.

Yeah, most likely.
As usual, areas along the mountains will see the brunt of the precip.

Long range 18z still advertising a warm start to May. An extended warm spell in early May will definitely ensure those pesky cotton balls will be flying by mid month.

Re: April 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
Could be sometime around when the global climate started shifting more rapidly, aka the mid to late eighties. Several years were the warmest on record at the time. Vancouver is part of that shift. We see less of anything to do with cold - snow, frost, summer rain, and on. The statistics clearly bear this out. One day we might all agree this is happening but I dont believe that day is here yet.

We're well overdue for an April snowfall too. Last one was back in 2011 I believe.

Re: April 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
probably from solar scientists. from what I've read previous models for future climate predictions have ascribes 0.1% of climate change to solar forcing but we've only been able to really study the sun for the past 50 years. so it's likely those models of past climate were a bit off.Roberts Creeker wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 1:25 am Eye catching headline: Winters are only going to get worse.

Some of the solar scientists are predicting that the current relative lack of sunspots could continue into the next cycle and we'd have a Dalton-like or Maunder-like solar minimum which means global cooling and more snow.
granted this is a cr@p shoot at this point half the solar scientists think the opposite but there are enough out there to provide for those types of articles.
while I wouldn't want a true Maunder minimum and it's associated reduction in viable farming areas, all that snow would make for some fun times on the forum

Re: April 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
Rainfall warning for the Fraser Valley but nothing for Metro Van. Very unusual to have a rain warning in Abbotsford without one in Coquitlam.
Must just be that trajectory of the low favours the Fraser Valley.
