I was going to say we could see some nasty showers today due to the unstable airmass. Sun, showers, hail, graupel kinda day imo :wave:
It is March after all.

Yesterdays rain wuda been 5-10cms of snow if we had arctic air in place and it was mid Jan or so, but i digress :|
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Radar is getting lit up. :shock:
60% of showers EC said for Metro. Looking quite gloomy out there. Im sure around 3-4 pm the skies will clear out again, as usual. Chilly week ahead. We need to see some sunny 20's soon :thumbup:

a huge part of the coldest time of the year, we had snow levels floating around 4-6k ft+, now that its March, we have had numerous days where the snow level has dropped to 500ft-1500ft :lol: :lol: and with those of course, numerous Slush festivals :clap: :clap:
Expected.

Temperature outlook for May, June and July. Above is a probabilistic seasonal forecast for 2-metre temperatures produced by the International Multi-Model Ensemble (IMME) for the 3-month period of May through July. Note that this forecast does not show the actual anomalies (how much warmer/cooler relative to normal), but rather, the respective probabilities of above-normal temperatures, below-normal temperatures or neutral conditions. Based on the above forecast, the dice are loaded for a warmer-than-normal spring and first half of summer in BC, with a stronger signal for the South Coast and US Pacific Northwest (darker orange shading).

April is as much a lost cause as March, just not so annoying on average, because I get to watch others score (while I don’t) less often.

Next chance for significant lowland snow is November.
