This rainy period over the next few days is welcomed and desperately needed but its a blip and not an overall pattern shift. Ridge looks to rebuild and October patterns tend to get stuck for weeks.

20 in 125 years, on average about one every 6 years. I’m sure there’s a lot more in the 20–24 cm range, so maybe one 20+ cm snowfall every two or three years?

Like I said earlier, we have done very well to get three major snowfalls in the past two winters.

The past two winters have been very good. Both featured genuine arctic blasts with the cold dropping straight from the north. Similar to what was much more common in the 50’s and 60’s.

Yes they saw both saw coldest temperatures in 30 years!

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT

3:51 PM PDT Sunday 24 September 2023

Strong winds that may cause damage and power outages are expected.

Where: Metro Vancouver.

When: Monday morning to Monday night.

Weather Hazard: This is the first wind storm of this autumn with full foliage. The heavy tree branches are more prone to break in strong winds and it may lead to more damage and power outage than subsequent wind storms of similar wind speeds later in the season.

Remarks: A strong Pacific weather system will bring strong winds and rain starting this evening. Strong southeast winds at 30 km/h gusting to 50 will develop early Monday morning and continue though Tuesday. For Metro Vancouver regions near the water, strong southeast winds at 50 gusting to 70 km/h are expected from Monday morning to Monday evening.

Loose objects may be tossed by the wind and cause injury or damage. High winds may result in power outages and fallen tree branches.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm.

Not bad for the border areas and Fraser valley at least,
I'm still haunted by Nov. 2021.
