January 2022 Forecasts and Discussions

Down in town (Duncan) and they have about 2cm that got melted and then froze solid. A good 1.5-2cm of sold ice on the sidewalks. Couldn’t shovel it. Just layer down salt and ice melt and moved on.

Haha that sucks. That's a nice little town though. Best farmer's market I've been to is over there, tons of creative and friendly people.

The thaw-freeze-thaw from the past few weeks did some damage to the roof right near the ridge and also split my downspouts.

Bah, that sucks.

Damn that sucks. I noticed it did a number on the asphalt on 49th Ave too.

Notice tonight l got a rock chip or ice chip a rock salt chip so much stuff being thrown around on roads in this weather and l just had my wind shield replaced in July. already starting to spider sheeets, anyone know under warranty from glass replacement shop or deductible again.

Replacement, no warranty. Don't expect it to last either. I've gone through three replacement windshields in the past few years. The non-OEM stuff is pure trash - made in China.

The roads right? I did notice some of the plows took out a few speed bumps and created road craters in New West. I'm having fun driving my jeep around the bumpy roads.

Currently 4.2C here with a south wind. Blown past the forecast high of 2C.

Had a low of -0.2C.

Strange, EC has no mention of the temperature dropping today. Looks like they don't expect arctic air to reach Abby until overnight tonight.

I'm not gonna lie, YVR at +5 sort of makes me nervous about tomorrow night despite the models being in very good agreement.

Although, Winter Storm Watch issued by NWS for Western Whatcom for 4-8" of snow, so what do I know?

Kinda figured that thanks.

That is with a south wind off the sea. Once it switches to easterly outflow, completely different story.

Unlike many earlier precipitation type modellings, the ones for the coming event are mostly realistic.

Kuchera and the 10:1 ratio.
