Is it clear there? Might be why.

I think White Rock is more in line with the outflow than North Surrey. On the Wundermap you can see that diagonal line separating the -9s and the -11/-12 from South Surrey through Langley into the Fraser Valley.

Powers back. Just a brief outage.

That's great news! I don't know about your house but mine is affected by wind chill, it's not the best insulated or sealed.

[Roberts Creeker]

I have to self-isolate and miss being outdoors because I have four or five of the symptoms.

How long are you stuck inside for. Hope it's not too long though it's cold enough out there it's not a bad time to be inside, imo.

Nope 11.4 and ahalf.

Strange brew , how often am I colder than you

It is rare for sure!
A bit sheltered from the wind here. Odd though, we used to get wicked outflow winds here as well back in the days. Hasn't been like that in over 20 years!

Oh sorry convergence zone, down there the winds coming down from tthe north the Arctic front and the southerly winds collided usually around Everett creating an up lift can drop copious amounts of precip. down there as the Arctic front moves slowly south the convergence zone moves south as far as Seattle. As well the Olympics and Cascade range acts as a funnel to contain the Convergence zone.

Ah, thank you and for the explanation. I guess they are a little hard to order from Amazon, even during their Boxing Day sales.

Seen this before. Throw the models out. This cold air won’t be pushed out that quick.

Someone in Nanaimo reported 64cm and still snowing.

Wow! snow till spring on the ground one year l went to high school over in Nanaimo , was hoping that first winter to experience a set up like that turned out to be dud winter of 76/77.

I was thinking the Dec/68 event when YVR hit their min. record l was in Coquitlam that winter up by Burquitlam plaza l wonder what the temp. would have been out there.
I remember that morning so well when l got up for school my mom telling what the temp was that morning., school was on that day they never cancelled. I had a mercury thermometer but our apartment faced south so it wasn't put up. Actually l did try putting it up outside my bedroom window but those concrete siding apartments built back then kinda use to chip.
I never did tell my parents.

That arctic blast was a beast. At least we had clear skies with that one.

In some ways that's what ironically made it even more impressive. YVR recorded two straight highs below -10c despite the clear skies. Since then, most of our low max temps have been achieved under cloud cover.

Do you remember the big snowstorm on New year's eve 1968, following the extreme cold?

[Hound]

Finally hit -10.7
DP: -14

Still cloudy but it might be thinning out.
