Hows the weather?

I don't think that this will ever turn into a monster thread like Dr. G's "Shangri-la Clubhouse"...but I think that it could be an interesting way for all of us to compare notes on what is happening weather-wise in our particular neck of the woods, on any given day.

And, since Canada is such a lage (HUGE) and diverse place, then some of these weather reports could end up being shockingly different. On the very same day.

Feel free to post photos. :cool:

Today, here on Salt Spring Island, it was unseasonably cool and there were dark clouds that threatened rain. They delivered on this threat toward suppertime, but it didn't amout to much.

I heard reports of snow at the higher levels. Scary.

So...what's it like where YOU live? Right NOW?

Rain is forecast for us on Thursday and Saturday, Dr.T., and that should make things really messy. We shall see.
Rain? Messy? I live on a certain Rock in a relative rainshadow, where we have half the rainfall of Victoria, which in turn has half the rainfall of Vancouver. Rain here is cleansing. Except when you start to think of the politics, but that be another thread, isn't she?


I think the rain is messy on your Rock because it becomes entangled with all that snow...

-10 this morning with a high of 4° today will continue the melt. A few underpasses in the city became nearly impassable yesterday when the clogged drains could not handle the run off. This will likely be common during the spring melt.
That sounds just fine for weather. I spent the first 9 years of my life in Alberta, and the youngsters there have it way too easy these days, what with indoor plumbing, and central heating, and electr- what do you call that again?

Still -5C with the sun trying to compete with the snow clouds bringing us flurries.

Sunny and -4C as we approach noon. Not a bad day. Spent some quiet time clearing off my deck of about 22cm of fresh snow. The cold temps overnight hardened it just enough to make it easier to shovel big chunks and throw them over the side. While I hate Winter and especially snow, this was good exercise.

Interesting how the few sites I checked only go back to the 90s or the 60s. Wonder where the earlier data went to?

For those who follow weather closely, a Beta version of possibly, the perfect weather site.

WeatherSpark | Interactive Weather Charts

Have a look see and see what you think.
Wow that is impressive, I am not a weather junkie, but I will surely keep this site close in case I need to know exactly...
I do have a friend (rancher) who is a weather nut, and this will go over swimmingly...
Thanks for the heads up... :clap:

+4C and still very sunny at just past 3PM. Very atypical for us, and my personal records go back 34 years (minus one day, when I first came to St.John's).

Latest Environment Canada forecast is for 25cm of snow and sleet on Friday night and into all of Saturday. Here we go again. Sadly, this is very typical for March ......... and April .......... and part of May. :(

It is cloudy right now as the St. Patrick's Day festivities begin here in St.John's, with flurries beginning in the morning changing to periods of rain late in the morning. Still, even the afternoon drizzle and fog shall not dampen our spirits as we celebrate from dawn to dusk ........... and then into the night. Paix, mes amis.

+4C and it feels like rain is coming. That will be the lead up to tomorrow's snow/rain event, and Saturday's snow event ......... with 25+cm of snow forecast. With Environment Canada's record of snow forecast for St.John's, that could mean we might get over 50cm by Sunday morning. We shall see.

We have dodged the traditional St. Patricks Day blizzard. However I am sure that April Fools Day will not disappoint.

Still 6 inches of slush in the lane challenging the driving skills getting the 30kph run at the hill. Thankfully the hill itself is almost dry but we still need to maintain that speed to keep moving through the slush.

Looks like the sunshine, which has been forecast all week, is finally going to make more than a cameo appearance.

+6C with a light rain being driven by strong winds. Snow and freezing rain will be starting tomorrow afternoon and lasting until Sunday morning. Forecasts are anywhere from 20-50cm of snowfall in that timeframe, depending upon the track of the storm and the amount of rain we get. We shall see.
