The winter version is coming up next!

Going over my weather diary I used to keep as a kid I noticed a trend or pattern where the more warm and AR type storm events we had in Nov. would often lead to more arctic outbreaks and cooler winters... so this year should be a knockout for winter weather if that seems to hold true. Purely unscinetific but.. patterns. Like how the majority of windstorms hit us during the night.

Who had warmest temperature ever recorded in December in BC for climate change bingo?

This is a good example!

The year 1949 saw a whole series of violent winter storms that took a heavy toll of property and lives on the British Columbia coast. One of the worst storms to lash the North Pacific began on November 26. On the North Shore where 9.2 in. (233.7 mm) of rain fell, shattered a 20 year-old rain record. The West Coast Advocate described the storm as “one of the heaviest rainstorms known to have been suffered here.” Provincewide, 10 bridges washed out, 11 rivers overflowed their banks, nine major highways were blocked and “scores” of secondary roads cut off.

On November 26, a storm with heavy rain struck the North Pacific seaboard. It left a trail of destruction and millions of dollars of destruction in its wake. The storm also left at least 24 dead in British Columbia. Twenty people died by drowning and four were killed in storm-caused traffic accidents. Six men drowned when their Victoria Tug Company’s tugboat George MacGregor foundered off Trial Island off Victoria on November 26.

A rainstorm with a maximum daily precipitation of 65 mm, a two-day maximum of 81 mm or 213mm for the storm total in the downtown Vancouver area, caused landslides in the Vancouver region. On November 26-27 on the North Shore, Homer on Woodside Drive was hit hard by flashfloods from Seymour Creek. Damage in low-lying areas flooded by Seymour Creek was estimated at least $50,000. Twenty-two “aged” patients of Swedish Rest Home were evacuated and taken to the North Vancouver General Hospital when water from Seymour Creek flooded the basement of the home.

Lots of winter cancels being discussed on the "other" forum at the beginning of that month. I remember it fondly.

Hi all, regarding the remainder of today (specifically mid valley) this morning has been relatively dry (and quite nice actually). The weather is still calling for more heavy rain. Somehow I don't see us getting more than 10-20mm at the very most, which would be in opposition to environment canada's forecast. Thoughts on this? I really want it to dry out.

It was windy this morning but that's died down now and no rain either. It's looking dark overhead so maybe another shower but it's pretty light in the distance. Dare I say it, it does look like it's over...at least for now.
