My dad said he heard/felt the sonic boom in Eastern Maple Ridge but didn't know what it was.

I heard it in East Van and was wondering what it was. Did not notice any light, but the window I was next to was facing the wrong direction.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Yeah man, that was kind of crazy. I kind of figured it was some industrial collision or something and just drifted off, then saw this in the morning. I saw a cool perspective from someone's doorbell cam.

So GFS, GEM and Euro all showing a decent amount of snow for end of next week. Should I start getting excited, or is it not going to happen? I still remember March 2002…

If there was a number less than zero that’s where my forecast chance would be. Model noise at this point.

Still think there's a good chance of our first "heatwave" in 2 weeks.
