^ 80 degrees in Williams Lake? I'll believe it when I see it!

BTW, Osoyoos was the 3rd wettest place in BC yesterday with 10.9mm. Vernon had zero mm.

A slight nudge in that ridge for Wed or Thursday will mean the difference between a warm, mainly sunny day or a wet day for the south coast. Seattle forecast is mainly sunny and 73°F for Thursday as they're far enough south to be influenced by the big ridge off the west coast of the US.

Any ridging looks to be transitory. My favourite kind ☺️

Yep, C79 analysis are insanely awesome reads. Doesn't post much but happy he's been posting more lately since our winter posters have gone into isolation for the summer.

I'm trying to stay more active this summer too! Just fell off the map a bit because I had to get settled into the new branch at work. Looks like normal spring is back though, unsettled at times. Much better than too hot too early imho.

No worries l was thinking members like El Nito, Bonorman and a handful of others seem to jump ship in the summer unless we get Tstorms.

Holy cow, there's people! Hey Sardis, Vancity and Jr.

I'm not surprised most people go into summer hibernation. Its just not as interesting. But frankly, outside of the two days it snows, I would say spring is more enjoyable than your average winter day.

Looking forward to Sunday! Sunny and 16 degrees last I heard.

Still looking perfectly average into May. La Nina continues to do its thing.

What alternatives are there to WeatherBell, whose management has apparently told their site designers: “Chase every web design fad you possibly can, and do not worry one bit about usability or functionality?”

I thought the mantra for any web developer was user friendliness. This seems like a sure way to lose subscribers.
