Snow through the night then a skiff of ice pellets then a brief rain shower. Very wet snow/ice pellets now, moderate flakes and rate.

We did have freezing rain last year and Gibsons-Langdale-Port Mellon get very different weather. I don't remember any big news about it. There were some pretty pictures of iced trees in the Creek.

That was me. Accumulations of ice pellets should be measured as part of the snow total.
It's called clown range for a reason.

With an asterisk l'm assuming l don't want to get to far ahead of skipper Grumplings, IP may not be in the rule book since it favors the Sardis Sardinies. :shifty:

Can one of our master stats guys tell me the last time YVR spent a longer stretch below -5C than the (by my count) 113 consecutive hours this week? And what's the longest stretch of such temperatures?

Off hand my first guesses would be either December 1990 or November 1985 for the last time it occured.

Is that correct freezing rain is due to mixed layers as well? actually how many ways can you get freezing rain?
