Snow Event


Snow still scheduled to arrive overnight into tomorrow and carrying on through Monday!

Today was productive in the fraser valley but not much elsewhere. This was always one of the expected outcomes prior to the arctic air arriving through Sunday/Monday. Some places saw a couple cm, while others saw sunny breaks. The streamers did not materialize over western sections. No thunderstorms were reported, although grauple was reported in many areas.

Tonight, increasing clouds and light snow beginning overnight. Towards morning heavier snow will develop and pass along the lower mainland. Possible bunching up against the northern mountains may help spread the snowfall into a wider range of area as the bands spin in. Snow totals could reach between 15 - 25 cm across the lower mainland by Monday morning. Monday may bring a fee more cm into play. Depending on your location, you may see 15 cm, or 25 cm, or even less near the water, or more at higher elevations. This system is a bit disorganized so it's hard to pinpoint. So those are my guesses. The east Vancouver Island areas should get about 10 cm tomorrow into Monday. After the outflow picks up, and depending on how strong the winds are will dictate the snowfall strength and depth. Everyone will see some snow no matter what. It will be fun to see how this plays out. Hopefully it wont be a choke! But it should not be at this point! Most moisture falling across Vancouver island is now snow. Most moisture as far as Seattle is also falling as snow in upper elevations, so things are cooling down on a large scale, it's just taking it's time. Currently it looks like the front is passing through/into the fraser canyon, so soon the winds will reach Hope and out into the valley.

If I added a redirect to forums.bcstorms.ca so it redirects everyone to forums.bcstorm.ca, and I set the cookie as forums.bcstorm.ca so we are no longer using bcstorms.ca, this might make our login problems go away.
I believe strongly that this is the issue or at least contributing to it. You need to clear it up so everyone is on the same forum url, and the same cookie. Then it should be ok. Using a subdirectory/subdomain can sometimes cause issues but usually not. Everyone should be forced to https://forums.bcstorms.ca You should probably deactivate the other url to prevent people using it.

Even well experienced forecasters are sometimes wrong. Forecasting winter weather in this climate is probably the hardest thing to do.

I use bcstorms.ca on 2 browsers on my pc and often get logged out on Chrome but rarely on Firefox. No idea why it happens on Chrome because I don't clear cookies/cache or anything, it's treated the same as Firefox but Chrome on my tablet is fine.

Impressive. Should a prolonged cold snap occur it increases the chances of Vancouver running out of salt once again.

Well, I’m off to bed. Not worth staying up for the :flakey: to start. (It may take almost until dawn to get here, anyhow.)

Is there some kind of phenomenon where arctic farts cause time itself to slow down? Because I swear, days/hours/minutes go SOOOOO SLOWWWWWW when you're waiting for :flakey: to start! C'mon already, I am out of patience! Waiting for this snow is messing with the space/time continuum. :wtf:
