We did have a foggy spell around Christmas time 1999. Otherwise the rest of the winter featured zonal and SW flow with lots of rain.

The foggiest stretch l can remember we were living in Richmond, just before Christmas of 84? that was a long duration of foggy day's.

Wasn't it a week ago it was showing a re load for us, unless this is now a signal.

You're thinking of December 1985 for sure. That was one hell of a foggy stretch!

'84-85 was a great winter. Late October cold snap with snow into early Nov. Snow/cold mid Dec thru early Jan with snow on the ground for that period.

Regarding '85-86 though, I think you're forgetting the last two weeks of November 1985 were absolutely frigid.

O.k. yeah my parents had moved from Vancouver to Richmond just before that foggy stretch. I don't think we got snow in Dec/85 or Jan/86 did we.? I do remember Expo 86 year winter 86/87 was mild l remember one evening in January we went to New West and it was snowing, well Richmond had cold rain.

06z RGEM still shows the potential for some moderate/heavy wet snow north of the fraser early on Tuesday morning.

We got a decent amount of snow during the overrunning event heading out of the cold snap in early Dec '85. After that, the month was fairly dry and foggy until we got some cold rain/slop the last few days of the month into early Jan. Other than that you remember correctly, no snow in Jan '86.

Yeah, o.k. l"ll have to look up some of these years, l remember the events just out by a year. I didn't look at any models today. Last night the precip was moving down the coast but yet tonight precip is moving up from the SW what did l miss.

I'm surprised EC left the 5cm to 10cm for the central valley.
I thought they would have up dated it to drop the wording but l guess they left it until the 5a.m. package, it's a long weekend who would have noticed.
