He's not wrong. X is bogus and it's being run by a guy who wants to invade Canada and strip mine our resources.

At least if it is dry it will melt more slowly than warm rain
Why not try cycling to work, grocery store, anywhere!

Ty my man your bike shots are gold can l make a suggestion how about one on the Patullo bridge before she closes for good. I know at some point there will allow people to walk across her before the tear down begins. Your bike shot on that bridge would be a master piece. :thumbup:

We could see a very warm and dry period until maybe late March and April. The Euro spat out some mid teens temps with sunshine :dance: :dance: :dance:
Looks like a North Atlantic SSW event. Siberian ones seem to be better for us.

1C and sunny here after a few light flurries this morning. I think we’ve had at least a dusting every day this month except for maybe 1. Still 15-20cm on the ground.

I've heard that too, although wasn't the one in February 2018 a North Atlantic?

-0.3c @ the pond in south Sardis l'm a little surprised it's a tad below 0c just after 12:30 p.m.

2018 did not feature a semi-permanent +PNA ridge driven by a GOA/Aleution low. A SSW event is not a given from this far out but if it does verify then it will be more favorable for cold East of the Rocky's. We likely get a head start on Spring as inversion season ends.

Yeah I don't want to get too political but he seems to be taking a stand. I think we should all switch to Bluesky eventually, this X thing has become a cesspool anyways. Twitter was great but those days are gone :x .

I think you've forgotten how terrible that winter was outside of the arctic fart around christmas and finally the -PNA period that started mid feb and culminated in a fairly nice arctic blast with a good snow event across the lower mainland.

Then again, we had a nice period of northwest flow that stacked up our snowpack in mid january, followed by an epic March/April in the mountains. I suppose you could also throw in November too, a nice cold snap around the 3rd and some decent mountain snows.

On second thought, that winter comes out as fairly average if not slightly above. Just the timing and or/details didn't quite iron out here until late february.
