A couple of late season chilly dry days then moderating temperatures. A far cry from the anticipated exciting week that was forecast just a day or two ago.

Yeah I dunno man. Wanted something to actually surprise us, but once again it goes the other way. Unless we get a model bounce back, guess we'll see.

Edit: Snowing again, thick flakes.

Nothing here at the moment. The preponderence of mesoscale models saying I’d get mostly screwed while those to my east scored was correct, it seems.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Planted my onion seed today over this boring winter! Even my orange trees enjoyed the winter with it barely being cold no arctic outbreaks!

Had a skiff of snow on the car from an overnight flurry. Looks like North Surrey and Langley/Abbotsford got hit with 1-2cm.

Models have now fully shifted towards a less dynamic pattern in the LR. Back to the quasi El Nino split flow late Feb into March.

ended up stopping snowing after posting last night. I tried to stay awake but i was toooo tired buttees. Ended up with about 1cm..enough to make it white all over except the roads, likely due to the mid Feb higher sun angles right?

But that snow falling was amazing :shock: :shock: massive flakes and fluffy, the type of snow like only the troffs can deliver :clap:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)
