April 2023 Forecasts And Discussions

[Roberts Creeker]

I drove the a very heavy downpour today, haven't driven in anything like that since I was up around Prince George.

Temp sure plummeted tonight, it's a very chilly 3.6c out there. brrrr

When's my snow coming? EC is saying nothing about it. Coldest forecast night is 2c on Tuesday with chance of showers. Won't they be surprised!

Just saw this on Vancouver Island weather page:

"Big wet flakes are flying in the Lantzville Foothills" I guess it can snow in the middle of April.

Absolutely weird observed splats in Abbs early this morning at my work down near Sumas.
Definitely wet flakes mixed in as a heavy band of precip slides through the valley. O.k. enough Neeto's spring please oh yee pineapple.

Quite the intense band of splats/mixed precip right now.

The last couple of days have been giving us hard rain. The latest CFS Monthly gives us a warmer than normal May. Do you think we will have a Juneuary this year or will it be a hot June?

l'm hoping not Suffed pepperman, but with the El Nito underway it wouldn't surprise me if we get roasted like a marshmallow only Neetzz knows for sure.

back east can have the best thunderstorms to watch, plus it always amazed me how accurate they were on the timing (compared to out here)

It actually amazed me how a day out they nailed the thunderstorm forecast. Definitely a different climate here that's for sure.

Snow maps were accurate once again. Phantom snow made its way down to sea level overnight and left a phantom mess on the roads.

Snow on the N.Shore Mtns on the trees this a.m. at around 1700 feet. Impressive. At 5-6c rain yesterday, i figured the local Mtns would receive a late season pumbling. Higher up must have added a decent amount to the snowpack late season.

Soon up: The next in a series of late season cold troffs

Just saw this on facebook...why not here??? Quite windy 6.3c dp-0.3 in Sechelt

Snowing like crazy in Sayward

Super windy here in Toronto.. yesterday was 25c and sunny and today it's 4c and some mix rain and snow on and off.

The weather didn't disappoint for this trip.. Sunny and 25 to 30c for a few days and some thunderstorms. Now some late winter stuff.
