Re: Weather stations in BC (photos)
I went to Victoria this weekend and passed near of this station (Saanichton). I couldn't take a photo of it but there's now a greenhouse behind the weather screen. Still a good location IMO.Glacier wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 12:14 pm Yes, at least they've been improving some of their stations. Osoyoos used to register rain every time the sprinklers came on.
Saanichton is a very good location.

EDIT: Although, maybe it a bit too close to the road there...

Re: Weather stations in BC (photos)
Saanichton has a new automated station there called "Saanichton CFIA." It start last February, and records the hourly and daily extremes. The old manual station called "Saanichton CDA" still exists as well.Canada Goose wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 7:01 pm I went to Victoria this weekend and passed near of this station (Saanichton).

Tatlayoko Lake... good location...
Clinton RCS... good site location, but poor maintenance. For one, the wind tower was laying on the ground (sorry, I didn't take a picture of it).

We were at Davison Orchards today in Vernon, and noticed that the old "Vernon Bella Vista" is still there...

Re: Weather Stations In BC (Photos)
Terrible location! No wonder why it's always so hot there! Or is the picture showing it closer to the house than it really is?Sardisbcwx wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 5:47 am Well here it is Cst. Goose, Hounderdog as promised l drove by the volunteer Chilliwack weather station and snapped a photo.
Luckily no neighbours called the cops on me. it's next to Chehalis park in south Sardis.
excellent location all grass around the Stevenson screen. Maybe it can be moved to the weather station photos thread.

No the house looks closer than it really is, l knew someone was going to comment about that.

Re: Weather Stations In BC (Photos)
You should have jumped over the fence and gotten pictures from other angles... but don't laugh, there a guy who has been doing straight line challenges in Europe. In the first one I watched he did a straight line across Wales. He did a lot of trespassing and tried not to get caught. When he did get caught he would explain what he was doing and usually be allowed to keep going.Sardisbcwx wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 1:50 pm No the house looks closer than it really is, l knew someone was going to comment about that.
To take a picture of such an important monument as a weather station, that's certainly a noble cause worth trespassing for.
EDIT: is this the same location as the one that went offline in 2017?

good point Mr. freezy but the house is across the park and l didn't want to walk over there and hang over his fence.Glacier wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 2:58 pm You should have jumped over the fence and gotten pictures from other angles... but don't laugh, there a guy who has been doing straight line challenges in Europe.

I'm not sure l believe this is a fairly new location the houses in the area were built in or around 2014.

Oops, the old station closed in 2014... and was near Walden Park, so a lot further north.Sardisbcwx wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 3:21 pm good point Mr. freezy but the house is across the park and l didn't want to walk over there and hang over his fence.
