Brett Anderson is saying we might get some lake effect on Sunday/Monday

“The second Arctic front coming southward through all of western Canada later in the weekend means business! This will be the coldest day of the season from Vancouver to Seattle on Sunday with temperatures in the lower single digits celsius during the day. Our current forecasts still might not be cold enough. Again, not a favorable setup for snow around Vancouver, but it might be cold enough for some snow over eastern Vancouver Island as the cold air picks up moisture across the Strait of Georgia.”

Wow, looks like the only chsnce of snow for the next ten days will be “lake effect” from the cold air blowing over Georgia Strait. The longer GFS is predicting a fair amount of precipitation around the 15th though, so that might be our next chance at snow.

Weird forecast! And the GFS has us at or below zero from most of the next couple weeks!

So the 11am forecast denotes an abnormal temperature trend. Today’s high temp is supposed to be 1c.. MAHAHAHAH!

Another great day yesterday. Since when do we get 11C all day in late November without a big storm? It stayed warm all night too, but it’s supposed to get colder as the day goes by today.

I ment to mention I notice my temp. up here on the hill is always a couple of degrees warmer that your 6th ave stn. The wind always seems to be coming down the hill in front of my house from the east and yet I can look out and see the gale blowing up the canal from the south. Must be a micro climate is caused by this as I can garden sooner and longer than when I lived down on lower Margret St. in the 60′s

I know weird day today… i was watching the radar on and off and it was as if all the rain was wrapping around us on the East side but never came through.

No complaints here either! Got some Christmas lights up!
