There's absolutely no question, the winter of 1925/26 was the least extreme winter on record...

And on the 100th anniversary, this winter has been very similar thus far (for the South Coast, at least).

Interesting, Chetwynd can have warmer winter months than Penticton, but Vernon never does...

It's amazing how mild the West Kootenays are! Their extreme record low is barely colder than the Fraser Valley record!

The late Jan/early Feb 1893 cold snap was the most anomalous on record for locales that did have data back then. Too bad it's so spotty.

It's the closest cold season equivalent to the June 2021 heat wave, imo. January 1862 is probably a better match (unofficial reading of -27c in New Westminster).

Quick... without searching, where do you think the Fraser River ranks among the largest rivers west of the continental divide?

5th longest...
4th largest drainage basin...
3rd largest river by volume (and much much smaller than the 2 largest)...
