Plus 10c at mid-mtn at Cypress on Tues. Copious amounts of rain from Fri evening through middle of next week. All at high freezing levels. The ski season is looking like a write off unless they can make some snow in a cooler,drier pattern for early Feb. Brutal.

They may want to swap this out for a rain gauge for the time being.

Brutal is right.

No issues here, mate. It’s been running strong for close to 2 years now.

Excellent. I wanted to get one, but I have too many trees in my back yard so, sun/rain/snow measurements are not accurate. Too much shadowing.

Is this the next "cold" event to track? A low of -7C on the latest GFS.

And think of the mountain snowpack Neetz... C'MON!

Snowpack levels across B.C. averaging 56 per cent of normal this January:

"Recent data from the B.C. government shows extremely low snowpack levels across the province at an average of 56 per cent of normal.

At the same time last year, the provincial average was 82 per cent, according to the Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin released on Jan. 10.

The province says 15 snow stations measured all-time record low snowpack at the beginning of January, five of which are in the Lower Fraser region and four within the Upper Columbia snow basins. "
