Abbotsford sees low 20's in March roughly every 3 years. Mid to upper teens are quite common from the middle of the month onward. 2015 had five days between 18.0C and 18.9C. In 2018, we reached 19.8C on March 12th.

The last time we surpassed 20C was in 2016, in the final three days of the month. 1994 had four straight days of low to mid 20's near the end of the month.

2016 also featured that crazy April heatwave. Nearly hit 30C at Pitt Meadows.

GFS and ECMWF has building heights in the Pac. Either a split flow or cold weather pattern will take over in 2-3 weeks.

We could still see snow. Remember May 6 2002. It snowed at YVR and portions of E Metro Van. Some areas saw 2-4cm from what I recall.

There's still a chance Gumps to pull off an upset win in the over done classic snowfall contest according to Nito.

Already a forest fire on Vancouver island near Campbell river? Apparently there was a haze in the sky around Vancouver.
How's that even possible.
