GoldenEars

I remember someone asking if they had known anyone who called ZR "silver thaw." I was going through a PDF on flooding events from 1808-1949 and saw it mentioned. 

Ladysmith is getting a nice band of snow right now.

A little surprised at the lack of enthusiasm. Not much to complain about - one of the coldest January blasts in decades with potential for more cold down the line.

Also snow precipitation shield is often further north than modelled. Plus the arctic front will likely be full of surprises. They often are. I am sure many of us will see snow and deep cold. It will very much feel like winter. In January!

I'm pumped for the cold up here. I'm used to the outflow winds eating most of the moisture in these situations so I wasn't shocked to see the snow totals dropping.

Its been snowing on and off all morning at my work in Aldergrove.  It's been sitting around 33 all morning so not much is sticking.

I was going to check out the big dump of snow in the mountains around Whistler today but my wheel bearing had other plans . At least I snagged a few pics of the mountains finally covered in snow on my tow ride home.

I assume we all remember 2008, how about Hanukkah eve storm?

That's the storm that brought me to the forums. I was in Metchosin when it hit. It took out 42 trees on our property and no power for 5 days.

Lots of outages in BC right now. I have gusts around 30mph and flickering lights.

Got down to 29.3 for the second freeze last night with lots of frost in the blueberries. 

Basement and ceiling on the top floor are leaking everywhere. A bunch of neighbors are reporting the same issue, gotta love living on a flood plain 

My boss is gonna hate my snow pile when he comes in.

Snow blowing sideways is my absolute favorite. Im contemplating on driving out to hope to experience the wind chill from the outflow.

Super light snow on the south end of Golden Ears right now. Really weird that nothing was forecasted today and the radar doesn't seem to be picking it up. 

Beautiful morning here with some freezing fog and a very cold low of 19 last night. 

Made it up to 39 today but luckily most of the snow stuck around. Gonna be interesting driving to work tomorrow with all the snow melt freezing tonight.
