The arctic blast wasn’t as long as originally forecast, but it did snow a fair amount (blasts can often be totally dry). Not only that, got some cold, dry powder snow out of it, which is quite rare on the West Coast. All in all, not bad!
Thing is even though we had last week this will go down as a mild winter l'm guessing if thats it the rest of the way.

That's what I stress when people Sh*t on the "above average" for a mild winter or warmer then normal. It doesn't mean you won't see 7 days of cold and snow. Just means the other 83 days will be typical Vancouver mild and wet weather 🤷‍♂️

Yes and snowfall totals not bad for some areas if they would have been spread out over a couple months it would have seemed like a cold winter, odd how things work out.

Is this our NHL break Gumps? I'm thinking of painting a wall just to watch it dry. Earlier tonight look liked TS down around Victoria, radar was lit up.

No cold,no snow,no sun,no canucks... might as well, make sure you buy the type that takes at least 8 hrs to dry, so you can put in a full shift.

Ya right, I would pretty well have to shut you out the rest of the way.
Went for a walk earlier and Nito's brisk southerlies felt much colder than what I would have thought.
According to TWN we might get a glimpse of the sun on Superbowl Sunday :thumbup: :clap:
