August 2019 Forecasts and Discussions

[stuffradio]

Did you guys see this!?

Snowfall warning in effect for:

Fort Nelson

A long period of snowfall with total amounts of 20 to 30 cm is expected.

Early- season heavy snow for part of the Alaska Highway.

An unseasonably cold arctic airmass will descend upon northern BC beginning late today. Rain forecast over the region today will change over to snow at times heavy this evening as temperatures quickly approach the freezing mark. Significant snowfall accumulations of 20 cm or more are anticipated overnight through Sunday at higher elevations of the Alaska Highway between Fort Nelson and Watson Lake and to the south of Fort Nelson. Significant snowfall accumulations are not expected in Fort Nelson because any snow that does fall will be too wet. The heavy snow is forecast to end by Monday morning.

Travel is not recommended. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Heavy snowfall accumulation may cause tree branches to break.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@canada.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm.

Reached an afternoon high of 22.5c with a low of 16.5c on my new official accurate Ecowitt weather station. And now with no interuption from sir Grumpy here is the unveiling of my new contraption. I got a couple of poles for a chain link fence from Home Depot I drilled a couple holes to make it a telescopic pole to lower if I need to get at the weather station I used a couple of bolts with wing nuts to make it easier to remove the pole. My station is 20 feet in the air and it clears the roof tops around here for the utmost in accurate wind speed. I can publish to Weatherunderground or Cloud or WOW if I wish it is also a wifi station. For now I can log in using the website for my current conditions when I'm away from the house, I checked the reviews and found Ecowitt and Ambient Weather had good reviews but went with Ecowitt for the compact size of the station. Seems very accurate which is what matters most.

Nice setup Sardineman! I'm looking forward to your very accurate reports!

Did you mark out 1' increments on your 20' pole to measure all the snow we're getting this winter?

Go snow! Love how it's only August and we've already moved on to snow!

Nice. Is the temp gauge 20ft off the ground too? If so, that’s too high for good readings but you have to make compromises with these things. Being higher, you obviously get better wind readings but when it’s really windy you might see a dip in rainfall accuracy if the rain is blown sideways

The snow is coming down in northern BC.

Yes the temp. sensor is underneath the rain gauge l've had the station up 2 days now and the temperature is bang on with my north facing thermometer which is 4 feet off the ground. I also have my manual rain gauge which is 2 feet off the ground so will see once we get some heavy weather. They also have a unit with separate componets but Amazon doesn't carry it right now. You can order the seperate components through their web site and they ship to Canada. Maybe a future idea. I'm looking at bird spikes for the rain gauge.

It’s a nice looking monitor.

Yeah . If you noticed in the upper right hand corner is the internet connection no need for separate components to connect online. You can also use an SD card with the monitor to download the latest firmware. Its the laest thing nowadays Davis needs to come out with this too.

Groovy , far out man. It's about time you came out of the woodwork with your invention. Your contraption has some similarities to slytyguy. Where's the Hawk alert radar screen? You need a screen with a video clip of Tattoo from fantasy island warning us , da hawk,da hawk,da hawk , and another one for da blob,da blob,da blob.
