February 2019 Forecasts and Discussions

[Hound]

You cat eh? I thought it resembles Canuck in Cloverdale..

[Hawk]

Canadian hot spot: Pitt Meadows, 7.4C
Hard to believe snowfall warning will verify with that. Maybe EC is secretly on #teamsnow...

7.4c in late Feb is same as about 1c in late Dec buttee

[Hawk]

18z NAM total snowfall for tomorrow. tr-2cm South of the Fraser. 2-15cm North of the Fraser.

Cold to start the week then cold rain by Thursday.

That's a snowstorm for the island with a low in that position. The 18z basically keeps us on the cold side of the storm track until further notice.

What he's saying is if you use pythagoreus theorem and the quadratic formula then 7.4 = 1.

Vancouver island, the place that should be warmer than the lower mainland but keeps scoring!

Insolation buttees
High sun angles

7.4c is actually a relatively cool day on a sunny Feb 21. Temps will drop quickly soon

People forget how quickly things can change around here. Feb 2nd 2017...sunny and 9C at Pitt Meadows. Next day? High of 0C with 20cm of snow.

Surface temps today are 100% irrelevant to what might happen tomorrow.

At face value, the setup shown for next Thursday would probably bring a significant snowfall to us on the lower mainland as well. The track of the low would favour offshore flow in the upper levels and outflow would remain at the surface. We would have a cold interior on our side for once as a source to draw cold air from.

Really astounding how a slight bit of elevation and location south to north makes all the difference in the last snowfall.
Stark difference from Langley airport area to Willoughby heights.
Saw many of these fringe snowfalls during the 90s-00s, but not many this decade!
Tomorrow maybe a repeat of the same!
Sat, with the instability and late Feb sun, may be a repeat of a thunderstorm i vividly remember as a kid.
Early evening, playing road hockey, and thunder and lightning, followed by heavy graupel that accumulated 2”, followed by another 2” of snow. Done within an hour, cleared, then hard freeze.

Something akin to late Jan 2008 would be nice to see on Saturday!
