Looks like lots of cold rain, with maybe a cupla slush festivals thrown in. At least the Mountains and Nito will be happy :hearteyes: :hearteyes: and hopefully the Similkameens builds up its lost snowpack too :facepalm1:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

It did at least get down to -1.4˚C last night here so there’s that. What really sucks is when wintertime ridging ends up being so mild that we get nights where there’s no frost despite it being clear.
It's called clown range for a reason.

I'll give this winter a "B-." A nice stretch of wintry weather during the holidays, but other than that it has been a big fat dud. Even with all of the teleconnections in our favour, we can only get a weeks worth of decent winter. :lol:

No doubt. I'm strictly focusing on the snowpack now, and the late ski season. I would take flood risks over drought and early fire season.

I actually love mornings like this. No dew or frost on the car. Having to scrape and defog my windows for 5 minutes every morning gets tiresome.

Yeah the offshore kicked in overnight Abby sr. but not 30kmh to 50kmh like EC was forecasting. :x
