February 2023 Forecasts And Discussions

[Bonovox]

Definitely increasing in intensity over Metro Vancouver.

[Forrest Gump]

Hopefully that heavy snow that has been hitting Squamish has made it's way into the Lower Mainland now and we will really start getting the goods. Poor Ol' Typing needs a good size dumping to cure his snow blues! And where is Port Kells?

Kellsy has no street lamps to stare at, so he's outside on his lawn chair beside the fire pit.

[Roberts Creeker]

11 cm at 11 pm, started around 10:30 so almost 1 cm/hour.
Temp just rose to +0.1c from being 0.0 most of the afternoon. dp dropped to -2 from -3. Sechelt is +0.8, dp - 1.3c
Windy too, big blobs of snow were flying off the tree.
It's warming up out there. Will it all melt by the morning?

[Typeing3]

Snow intensity has definitely picked up in the past 10-20 minutes. I'd say it's solidly in moderate territory now. Flakes still pretty small though.

Good old Sechelt. The #1 south coast banana belt location.

[Rubus_Leucodermis]

Oh it definitely picked up last half hour. This is what I was looking for!

Yup. It’s really happening!

[Monty]

32 cm in Ucluelet!

Wow. That’s huge for the coast.

[VanCitySouth]

Yup. It’s really happening!

It's windy too now. I think Monty mentioned a low forming offshore enhancing precip around midnight to ovnite for YVR, bang on with that it seems, because wind is evidence of a more organised pressure centre.

[Pumpkin Seed]

Moderate to heavy snow with very fine flakes since around 6:30pm, currently -0.2C and roughly 5-6cm accumulation so far. If it keeps the same kind of flakes for the rest of the event, don’t think I can reach the target of 10cm.

Complete with palm trees and banana trees.

[Monty]

Snow has been light but steady here. About 6cm. I’m guessing my original prediction of something around 10cm will be close. Just haven’t been able to get any heavier rates with this setup.

Looked like there was about a 4hr window for heaviest rates. Roughly 11-3am or 12-4am. Give or take, depending on location.

[Canada Goose]

4.0 cm fell in YVR until 10 pm, end of the climatological day.
Also 2.0 mm of rain...

Awesome. Four more hours of this and we're definitely solidly in an A winter. I believe with 10 cm at 11 PM I already surpassed last season.
