February 2021 Forecasts and Discussions

He said his hockey rink has been active since November.

You’ve been lied to. Maybe he’s got an underground chiller in his backyard. Not a lot of natural outdoor ice rinks survive a month with an average high of +10.5C

Splats storm in North Vancouver

Positive splats happening south of the border

I saw some splats this morning. The snow line was low in the hills. Been mostly dry since then.

Another tell tale sign of the winter we are enduring. Positive splats being a small consolation prize and Hawk measuring his snow depth in mm instead of cm. Not good

[Pomoman]

Off and on mixed rain and snow, at times full on wet snow, falling in the last hour and a bit. Pretty to look at, no way this will accumulate.

Turns out the usually unreliable https://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks ... ecasts/370 was right. Called for snow today.

You just know he’s a snow lover at heart

Also I think pretty much every meteorologist predicted at least one arctic blast this winter for our regions. So there are many that are like C'MON!!!

They are not alone. This winter has not gone even close to what I predicted either.

Who knows. Lots of variability

[PortKells]

Run to run change...not bad.

This run ain't bad at all. However the 18z for whatever reason always likes us.

Not my favorite run in the long range but the way this winter has gone, the modelled long range pattern won't verify anyways.

Lead story in the https://www.bellinghamherald.com/

As of early Tuesday afternoon, the network’s tremor map shows 2,909 epicenters, most under southern and central portions of the island in British Columbia, but a handful were even recorded in the San Juan Islands on the U.S. side of the Haro Straight.

Almost all of the tremors had magnitudes smaller than 2.0, though a handful of 2.0s and 2.1s were seen in the list.

The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network tweet said the high amount of activity is “out of the ordinary,” but said it wasn’t believed to be indicating any hazards or tectonics along the Cascadia Subduction Zone.

“It’s important to keep in mind that ‘ordinary’ still isn’t a very well understood term when it comes to tremor,” the network said. “We’ve been studying tremor for less than two decades, so what may seem irregular right now might be normal over the 300-plus years since the last CSZ (Cascadia Subduction Zone) earthquake.”

Incidentally, Jan. 26 marked the 321st anniversary of the last great Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake that shook the Pacific Northwest on Jan. 26, 1700.

In a Feb. 1 blog post, Pacific Northwest Seismic Network Professor Emeritus Steve Malone said the recent burst seen beneath Vancouver Island doesn’t “look to be a typical inter-ETS tremor patch that is usually down-dip (east-northeast) of the main ETS patches and lasts no more than a few days.”

“This latest batch seems to be a reactivation of part of the standard ETS region,” Malone wrote. “It seems to have started in the region on Vancouver Island that had some of the earliest tremors during the Oct. 4-Nov. 16 ETS event, a burst going from Oct. 15-17.

Just saw the ensembles. I think its a bust. Sorry jr. Nothing we can do but move to a higher elevation or a wintry climate.
