What are the thoughts for rain / showers on Saturday. We're moving and hoping we can manage the day with no rain. Heading out to Harrison Mills so hopefully it's a good area for active weather!!

Further east you go, the easier it is to score subfreezing air during outflow conditions. That’s the plus. Minus is the easier it is for the outflow to eat the precip for lunch and to end up with only virga. Overall probably snowier on average though it really depends on the event. Sometimes eastern areas score best, sometimes western areas.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Can't be any worse than Pitt Meadows in snow events :lol: . Hopefully I can get some thunderstorms in summer and abit more snow in the winter.

Heh, good point! That’s one upside of living in Pitt Meadows: basically no way to go but up when it comes to snow chances.

Hey all! My wife went hiking Mt Baker today, and they got snowed out lol - had to turn around about 1 hour into the hike (I think possibly up Shuksan arm)... Anyway, it's that time of year!

Hey, anyone know what happened to AbbySr's website? (Abbywx) - it seems down, or not updating.

It's been strange for Tstorms the last couple of years either they've gone west or east of the central valley,
Agassiz is the closest station to you now.
