High/low of 1.5c/12.5c in east Coquitlam today.

Moderate hail shower currently passing through.

If we clear up later could be the final frost/freeze of the season.

Nice late season score. Heading this way under this cool N flow. Beauty clouds out today

Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

Real potential for a good 1-3" of snowfall in higher areas of Puget Sound. Some areas have already seen 2 inches.

That’s crazy late for them, nonetheless a nice score.
Yeah, but at what elevation?

Got Virga’d out earlier

Snow pellets in Whistler and the Similks catching flakes at 0c. EC called for rain showers for both locations, but instead we are seeing snow at noon.

Did you guys see the new beta test site for the new EC weather page? It's total trash and complete crap. Take a look, and fill out the survey. Talk about making things worse to see at a glance. Nothing wrong with the current page. :evil:

Crap layout indeed should have been left as is layout is very 💩 poor A.I. Canada on a shoe string budget both in forecasting and observations.
I rely on our weather community here for both observations and forecasts we are much more accurate. :thumbup: :D

A little frosty this morning. Low of 0.9 IMBY.
It's called clown range for a reason.

By the way, it snowed in the Seattle area yesterday. Because I no longer live there, that is allowed.

A match for yesterday's low, last night was -0.6 again, and it's another sunny day.

Well, it's pretty...just the opposite of Red Green, not that useful but nice colours and graphics if that's what you want instead of concentrated info.

Just filled in the survey.
