Thanks!

Pretty crazy. It rained for a good 36 hours straight here... roughly 84 mm so far. Biggest rain event since last January, and no warning issued.

Wow. Nothing like that here. Maybe 15mm total the past 2 days.

The western lowlands of metro Vancouver got much less rain then expected due to the Olympic rain shadow. Upper coquitlam, usually a top rain spot had a 3 day storm total of only 46.8mm. Almost double in the Valley and to our south near Seattle. Crazy
Not over yet though looking at the satellite and the radar, the heaviest rain could come late this evening and the 18z GFS showed heaviest precip this evening right over Vancouver and the North shore.

The Rocky Mountain and Coastal Mountains are quite effective at blocking cold air from entering the area. Even Prince George is much milder than Fort St. John for example or Revelstoke vs Calgary.

I have found the solution to our problem, and I know just the guy for the job.

Team Jeckyl & Hyde lost 6-2 kinda like the models lately.

I've had 94.9mm of rain the past 48 hours.

I'm surprised there was no rainfall warning but I guess the meteorologists did not expect the valley to be in the bullseye given its usually not in most cases. Typically the valley is under the rain shadow. There are some cases where we do score here though and this was one of those cases.

Yes rain but never snow.

Actually Tyler's map had a lot of rain.
