[SouthSardiswx]

woke up this morning to a "special weather statement" on the environment Canada app and have to admit my first thoughts were that my phone's software was shot and was bringing things up from November

quite windy today but brilliant in the sun

Ah yeah Moon person, reminds me of that old classic t.v. show Time tunnel.

Despite it still being only 5C around 1:30 this afternoon, I managed to hit a high of 12C once the sun came out and winds calmed.

Brutal hike at Burke Mountain near 350m. Was completely sunny at 930am but got pelted by heavy hail and snow at 1pm. It did stick a bit in shaded spots. Completely unprepared for that.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

I was surprised there weren't any wind warnings, maybe I missed them. I was on the ferry about to leave Horseshoe Bay and heard parts of the announcements on the Nanaimo bound ferry including 95 km/hr winds, make sure your parking brake is on, etc. As I watched her depart I felt like I was watching the Titanic sail off. Checked their Departures/Arrivals page and saw this: Weather delay. Strong winds. Departure as soon as it is safe.

Our route H Bay to Langdale is very sheltered so no problems there. Met a friend and his son on board and they were raving about the Deep Cove donuts, will have to put that on my to do list one of these trips.

Unlike many on here, I had sunshine all day for my travels through to Burnaby and at home. Quite windy at home and at times during the day but no precip except a few drops.

Frosty roofs this morning.

0.3C here for a low this morning

[PortKells]

Anyone see the snowstorm in Calgary no wonder the flames got doused so easily.

[Typeing3]

Frosty and near freezing earlier this AM. Low of 1.4C.

[Typeing3]

Looks like we will end April with nearly 200mm of rain at the North Coquitlam station. Hope to see a nice dry stretch with several 20C+ days soon.
