[Snowman]

Reached a peak depth of 15 cm at my place in West Kelowna. Still snowing lightly, but the temperature is hovering around 2 degrees so there is a fair bit of melting happening. Definitely unreal for October

Hey Slyty, you need to bang on your neighbor Sardineman's door at 3 am and wake him up, and tell him to cut his spawning season short and get his tail and fin over here. If not, next time I see him I'll put him in a headlock and give him a noogie or two.

I'm here guy's Gumpy, Jr. check your inbox. Is Hawk back from hibernation. Are we in for a real winter it looks interesting indeed. How's Mrs. Bugs doing? love all the snow shots today.

I couldn't post all day but when I drove to work this morning between 7am to 8am there was mixed snow and rain falling in my area and up towards Guildford Mall. It was very noticeable. The temp was 2.5.

Hawk is locked in my basement.

High of 5.8c today here in east coquitlam.

Low clouds are starting to break and can see some fresh snow on golden ears and burke mountain.

Looks like we will clear out completely by 9/10pm so a widespread freeze is likely tonight.

l thought maybe John's basement. Bit of a breeze out here now in Chilliwack.

Does anyone else think the wind is going to prevent a freeze tonight? I noticed EC has a low of 3C, so perhaps that's their thinking as well. We may have to wait until Saturday morning for a widespread freeze, and Sunday morning should be below freezing basically everywhere.

l agree l don't think we will see a freeze tonight, especially if the wind kicks up.

Wind is really picking up here in East Chilliwack, North-easterly....so I'm wondering how it is in Agassiz right now?

[wetcoast91]

I suspect temps may increase tonight into tomorrow as dry air funnels out of the valley. Airmass isnt as dense as a mid winter one. Dry airmass + stable winds should see max lows by Sunday into Monday.

[Abby_wx]

I'm thinking we could see some record lows on Sunday morning if the winds are calm by then. Monday will depend on whether skies remain mostly clear; it could be similar to Sunday morning, but that's a ways out still.

As long as the outflow winds are going, I doubt it will freeze. That can only happen if the winds die down and it’s nighttime. The air will be plenty dry, which will help with heat loss in such a situation.

I was working in Victoria today. Pretty raw out there with a heavy wind blown mist on a NE wind most of the afternoon. Almost looked like a bit of an arctic front signature on radar across the South Island in the last hour. With the steady precip exiting to the SE and some showers popping up and moving in from the NE.

[Typeing3]

00z HRDPS forecast lows for tomorrow morning followed by Sunday morning. Definitely looks like we may struggle to freeze tonight but Sunday morning looks really chilly.
