The freezing level shot up to 1600 M here yesterday when it was forecast to only be 1200 metres. The warm Pacific definitely warmed things up more then it looked like. I guess it's game over. It was 7c here today and windy
January 2025 incoming..looks like more Pineapples..Happy New Year! :think:

Wind kicked up all of a sudden. Looks like a squall line sweeping rapidly southward.

On radar if it is extends from west of Vancouver into the eastern valley, good eye Vanman.
I did have a wind gust to 48kmh @ 7:30p.m.

Thanks for that. I'd love to see the entirety of the 1800s but that's not possible of course.

Just a horrible decline here since the 90s. :silent:
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:
