It was 2010 when my wife and I drove to somewhere on Chilliwack Lake Rd to watch the Perseids. Clear + newish moon = 37 in about an hour.

Not too bad for the PNW/SW BC so far this year. No huge torch, but some spots slightly above normal.

Re: August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
The progression seems similar to 2016. All models were predicting an El Nino and backed off later in the summer.

Re: August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
Our coldest Feb since 1936 definitely played a huge part in getting the anomalies down to near zero. Otherwise we were above normal in Jan, April, May and June.

Re: August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
It's time we had a winter with sub -10C temps and a heavy, region-wide snowfall (08/09)...for an extended duration (16/17).
I would love a repeat of 16/17 but with more snow and more shots of frigid air.

Re: August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
A January 1950 redux would be an extremely extremely tall order, even amongst past cold periods such as the 1950-1972 timeframe.
Buuuuut, maybe something like that will be the catalyst that pops the region's cold/snow cherry again. Something similar has to happen one of these years...

Re: August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
I’m pretty skeptical we will see anything like January 1950 in our lifetimes. I would trade it for a 1916 anyways.

Re: August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
December and February have shown they can still deliver in recent years. However, most of our classic Arctic outbreaks occur in January. We haven't seen a top tier January in decades. Hell, the last time YVR dropped below -10C in Jan was back in 2004!

January 1950 was a full three degrees colder than 1916. Also had a lot more snow.

Re: August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
You guys keep dreaming..and buy lots of lottery tickets too that's how much chance we have seeing a cold winter again imo. Last 25 years has produced very little in prolonged cold spells with COLD temps and heavy snowfalls region wide. Like Monty said..not in our lifetimes. Climate is def warmer. But why?
Let's hope this April brings some ~24c sunny days. Yesssss

Re: August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
They were very similar on the island and February 1916 had a huge blizzard on the island. Both January and February 1916 were slightly snowier than January 1950 here.
