January 2022 Forecasts and Discussions

16 at YXX so far.

Counting my measured snowfalls @ the pond in south Sardis 17 days. That doesn't included any days we saw snow that didn't stick, only received 1cm today and 0.5cm Friday.

Still sitting @ -1.7c @ the pond in south Sardis many icicles and ice covered trees, l'm ready for the melt now.

I have seen 20 days with measurable snowfall this season so far.

Weather network shows a chance of mixed rain/snow tomorrow morning for a couple hours. Other than that there’s zero snowflakes on the 14 day forecast. Haven’t seen that since early-mid December. Their forecasts aren’t great but it’s at least cool to see hope for snow somewhere in the next 2 weeks.

I could be wrong but I don’t think the AR this week will result in catastrophic flooding. It won’t be a super long duration event. And the snowpack will likely be able to absorb at least some of the rainfall from the start of the event.

I’ve had 16 so far this year. I had 4 last year total. Been a good stretch here. Hopefully one more blast of winter late Jan to get to over 100cm this season

Some signs of potential late January or early February. Also feels like we are due for a snowstorm in March one of these years. With the Niña going it could be this year. Definitely potential for this to be a really big snow season with a lot of places seeing big totals already and winter not even 1/2 over.

l agree just the feel to this year is different. IMO

Plus 10c on Tuesday shorts and tee shirt weather. massive snow melt not good at all.

I'm thinking same thing. There is a lot of snow down low and that's probably good for absorbing at least 24 hours of rain. There won't be a lot of runoff the first day imo. Plus the AR could get rug pulled and move or weaken, like the last few warm fronts have done

[SouthSardiswx]

So is it Novak Djokovic or Novaxx. it's 0c @ the official pond in south Sardis.

[SouthSardiswx]

Dude! I got like a whole cm! Lol
Reminds me of Feb snow.

But with lower sun angles wait till Feb. melting by 10a.m. even with cloud cover.

For those who don't know, this was the old "official" Vancouver station and was located downtown.

FWIW, I've found temp records at this station are more in line with YVR, while precip records at the old Steveston station are more in line with YVR.

l think it was at the Winch bldg. where ever that was downtown.
