I am not seeing any wind yet but EC extended the warning to Maple Ridge at 7:50 pm (previously not warned) so I wonder what's going to happen?

We have been definitely seeing strong wind gusts here out in Chilliwack.

Nice! I was tempted for the north shore mountains but Manning tomorrow will be amazing. Small chance of trying for Sasquatch on Friday but probably not. They're a bit of a ripoff these days with their one chair out of order for not passing inspections.

Really glad the mountains got a good stretch in here, continuing into the weekend. Looks like it'll get good again the second half of spring break.

The GFS with another overdone snowfall on Monday. Very marginal temps but the 925s are supportive, just barely. We'll probably get a dusting somewhere is my bet.

Not much wind to speak of here but terrain usually does a good job of shielding MBY from strong southerlies.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Would anyone have an idea of how long these winds will last? This is the windiest I’ve seen since we’ve moved out here and we are surrounded by trees by Sandpiper golf course. Power has been out for half an hour or so. Thank you!!

What? That's insane. I've barely had anything, thankfully.

Seeing lots of power outages popping up in Hope/Chilliwack.

Fairly calm here.

Yup… especially after this crappy winter.
