Nice weather

[alanjh595]

I have a 12 pack of a fine Chablis cardboardeaux tetra pac.
I'm staying indoors this weekend when the snow starts.

Tis the season. Saving the bottled stuff for New Years eve?

Snow set to fall

Flurries are expected to begin falling Saturday night in Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton, carrying through Sunday and into next week.

Two centimetres of snow is expected to fall across the valley Saturday night, with another five set to fall in Kelowna and Vernon Sunday.

Well, she'll be happy :/

Graupeling.
Can you use it in a sentence?

I would like to extend sincere gratitude to all those who
contributed to the expansion of my meager vocabulary.

Almost enough to warm the rime of graupel to shed a droplet of tear
from this cold and weary heart.

I will introduce this now, these fine words, graupel and rime, and their meaning
to thine offspring so she too can expound it upon
her peers and educators who are already confounded as to the expanse
of the vocabulary she is well know to utelize.

No, a simple thanks would not do..



As with most every prediction, especially snow forecasts, I will just brush it off. (heh,heh)

edited to fix; Thanks WalterWhite .

-you could throw in an "upon" to give it a little flare :)

I hadn't heard that word either, now I have.

Alas, the snow is here. It does have the perk of making my moody girl gleeful, though.

Alerts for: Okanagan Valley
Statements
5:11 AM PST Monday 18 December 2017
Special weather statement in effect for:

Central Okanagan - including Kelowna
North Okanagan - including Vernon
South Okanagan - including Penticton
...Significant snow storm Tuesday...
...Colder after Thursday...

The weather will become very wintery across the Southern Interior this week.

On Tuesday a deepening Pacific low pressure system will track up and across northern Washington state. This system will combine plentiful moisture with cool northerly winds near the surface. The result will be heavy snow starting tonight and continuing through Wednesday morning for most communities in the southwestern Interior and Kootenays.

Storm total snowfall amounts will range from 15 to 25 cm with the highest amounts falling near the U.S. border.

Some regions in the Kootenays may get more than 25 cm from this storm. Winter Storm Watches are in effect for Boundary, West Kootenay and Elk Valley.

A break in the weather is forecast later Wednesday before an Arctic front sweeps through on Thursday. The Arctic front will bring a few flurries and, more noticeably, colder air to the southern interior for the rest of the week. Overnight lows will drop to between minus 10 and minus 15; daytime maximums will be several degrees below zero.

Wow, I had 16 cm of snow at my place yesterday, which is MORE than the 13cm that Silverstar got!!!!!!!!!! Now I'm in downtown Vernon, and there's just a skiff of snow on the ground!

The good news is that more snow is on the way, and it will be colder this time, so it should actually stick in Vernon this time. In in the south Okanagan it should start piling up.

Here is the forecast...

[dirtybiker]

And how is this good news ???

And how is this good news ???

[Whyme2]

[Queen K]

I'm told Joe Rich got a lot of snow last night. Anyone to confirm?
