2010-11 was a moderate/strong La Nina so I would rule that out for now based on the updated projections for a weak La Nina.

2005, 2008, and 2016 seem like better matches.

Snow!!!!

An upper trough has brought in cooler-than-normal temperatures for parts of Western Canada this week.

This has also meant freezing levels that resemble October rather than August. Freezing levels have been at approximately 1800 metres, and normally they would be around 3000 metres at this time of the year.

Areas across British Columbia such as Whistler, Revelstoke and the Okanagan connector have already seen late-summer flakes of snow on Tuesday.

The precipitation will last through Wednesday in the alpine, with up to 30 cm possible in the Alberta Rockies. A pretty bold reminder that winter may be closer than you think.

I couldn't see anything l think due to heavier cloud cover in the central valley but the Grouse camera you could see he greens. :o Global news had a photo taken from Lacarno beach looking north with greens as well quite the year for these sightings. We reached a high on Wednesday of 22c @ the pond in south Sardis.

The very astute and accurate farmer's almanac has it dry and cool for the SW B.C. Go east it says for cold and snow we reached a high of 29c today at the pond in south Sardis.
