Nice weather

[just popping in]

Don't want to see it to believe it.

[HoboJo]

7C this afternoon but there was a shower earlier... Being off farm has it's ups and downs.

[Snarf]

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas out there!

[Queen K]

I'll believe it when I see it.

We could get 15 cm, but it's HIGHLY unlikely. Castanet is producing more #FakeNews. The forecast for the valley is only 10cm. The 15 to 25cm is for the highway passes like Pennask Summit.

Oh dear Glacier, looks like not only do I have to see it, but I have to shovel it, drive in it and hope you're wrong!

I don't want to make you guys jealous or anything but here's the forecast south o' the border:

It's coming down heavy again now. Just got off 97 from Peachland.

And jealous? Isn't part of your job to keep it down South?

[ferri]

Well! It's a north wind! So who's fault is that? Huh?

[alanjh595]

Well, it is coming in from Alaska, so technically it's a USA cold front.

[tsayta]

RUSSIANS!

[Queen K]

Technically the Russians did own Alaska at one time. So....

But seriously, it's February 18th and we have minus 6? Did this happen last year?

[Glacier]

Environment Can'tForecast predicted a low of -14C this morning in Vernon, and also predicted that no place in BC would be colder than -27C! Seriously wrong in the first case (it was below -20), and MASSIVELY wrong in the 2nd.

Yoho National Park was supposed to be -27. Nope, it's actually -32C
Prince George was supposed to be -23C. Nope, -29C
Burns Lake was supposed to be -24C. Nope, -32C
Smithers was supposed to be -20C. Nope, -28C.
Puntzi, west of Williams Lake, was supposed to be -24C. Nope, -37C! That's off by 13 degrees! Someone should be fired!

[dirtybiker]

Someone should be fired!

And apply for the job of Okanagan River Floodgate Technician.......

[Noisy Boater]

It was at least 26 on the boat today out in The Bay of Banderas. Saw whales up close tuna and a manta ray !, Kids fried in sun but I was smart enough to stay undercover so beer stayed frosty cold. Depression setting in. Return to minus freeze my a$$ off by the looks of it. Can you please go fund me till mid March

[Bpeep]

Well if the kids fried it'll be less mouths to feed.
Cheaper too to ship them back.
Cash in their tickets and toss em in freight.
If they're too heavy just fry em a bit more.

It ain't cold till the whisky freezes.
