Born in 1918 don’t remember much weather before 1950 to busy back than life was tough the thirties and war time were not easyForrest Gump wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 11:32 am Sorry John , can't help you there. I'm old but not that old . To you I'm probably a young whipper snapper
If you dig deep into your memory bank can you recall any cold winters from the 40's,30's or 20's? No googling allowed.

Re: August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
Say what? You really are ancient! So all that teasing we did was justified Congrats on reaching 100 ! 101 to be exact! Did global news weather announce your name and birthday last year? I thought I saw someone from chilliwack. The Lord has blessed you with a long and healthy life. Kudos for embracing technology, computers,internet etc, a lot of people in their 70's and older don't want anything to do with it.

18z still has the cold shot for northern BC on Sunday. Perhaps some wet snowflakes around Fort Nelson. Mild and dry for us down south
Strong system impacts the north coast on Tuesday...

John are you really 100 years old????! That's amazing and SO AWESOME you're on this forum! Here I was impressed that my 83 year old Nana can use an iPad and Facebook but you being here is even more incredible. I would love to hear about some of your great weather stories. Have you always lived in Chilliwack?

Ditto. That's crazy if true.

Re: August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions
Bahaha. I knew it John. Lmfao.
Of course it could easily be 18c and bommy during this strong EN, but instead March starts out troffy and chilly! Bring on some 18c sunny days
