That's our climate unfortunately. A lot of things have to go right. It happened before, will happens again.

I guess I missed but how did you end up in Vancouver?

A longtime friend here encouraged me to look for work here. (I had given up trying to find work as a software developer in the States due to rampant ageism; it is in my experience virtually impossible to get hired there once one is visibly older than 50.) He claimed the culture was significantly different in the Canadian high-tech sector. I was skeptical, but decided to test his theory by sending three résumés northward. Two resulted in interviews, and one interview resulted in a job offer. With that job offer, I was able to secure a work permit and a fast-track to permanent residency via the BC Provincial Nominee Program. So here I am.

Quite the temp contrast. Lower 50s in Central/Southern WA.

What year was (a couple of years ago) la Nina year when we score multiple snow events and nothing down south. Literally exactly the same pattern.

So far, so good! I have always enjoyed my visits to Canada in general and Vancouver in particular, and have long fantasized about living in Vancouver one day, so it was not a hard decision to move up.

Summer time English bay is beautiful to go to and relax and enjoy a drink. I love going there in the summer after work and watch the sunset with a cold

2016 was way better up here. Seattle was ghosted until probably February. Inject that **** into my veins. I want to see north of the border dominate those guys again. These big Seattle scores have been demoralizing but I swear It's our turn now.

Have a hard time believing this will verify but...

I'll give that 20% chance of verifying. It's a tough set up for snow. pomo special.

2016-17 was colder/snowier in Oregon than here at times. Especially in early-mid Jan.

2013-14 was like that too, and even more extreme at times (early Dec and early Feb).

A rare freeze potential on Friday. Looks to be the only completely dry day in sight too.
