October 2019 Forecasts and Discussions

[Canada Goose]

Although temperatures don’t look impressive, the “front” appears to have passed Lytton in the past hour with a wind switch to the N and gusting to 55 km/h. A quick mover.

What characterizes above all a change of air mass is the evolution of the dew point. The temperature evolves in a second time.

By the way, Lytton has had a foehn effect.
Very dry air further east.

For November 9...

[PortKells]

Can somebody who was there talk about November 1996? I feel like that one gets lost in the mix thanks to its Far bigger/more memorable follow up event in December that ranks as one of the all time greatest. But the numbers looked impressive for a mid November snow event.

Looks like YVR only hit 9.7C today. Second sub 10C high of the month for them.

Massive snowstorm in the valley back in Nov '96. Surrey east thru Hope got hammered with that one on the 16th and 17th. Decent snow totals for Vancouver as well but the valley really took the brunt of that storm.

Snow totals ranged from 5-10cm in Vancouver to 10-20cm in Coquitlam with up to 30cm in Surrey...about 30-40cm in Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

Can we do a redux of Nov and Dec 1996 in 2019?

18z looks interesting by day 10. Massive push of Arctic air into northern BC. The upstream ridge isn't amplified enough to deliver it south to the PNW however....it's nice to see the potential is there for a classic arctic blast rather than these backdoor type events of late.

Front has passed in Hope.

Ah yes 1996 Nov. Mark Messier played for the Knucks my son was born that month, it snowed (wet) the day after we brought my son home. We had thunder that month too. And we hit a high of 17c at YVR that month. It's Nov. 1985 that takes the cake.

Yup she said that too.

Nov. 85 was way better Jr.

You should read the last posts...

Temperature is slightly lower than the past hours (10.9C at 6:00pm), wind is now E or ENE (so, where the cold comes from...) and, most important, dew point is falling rapidly (-12C now).
