Nice weather

[Queen K]

Just came in from shoveling. Can't recall that the first snowfalls were that deep or heavy but I've worked off a quarter pound in sweat and fat. And you know how big my place is.

I have been watching this snowfall since 3:00AM and I got 4". I can tell that it is heavy by the way that the shrubbery is bending over from the weight.

Queen K is probably crazy because I only have about 1cm of new snow and it's light and fluffy.

PS. I'm just practicing my gaslighting Skillz. I know Kelowna got a lot more than the North Okanagan, and a degree difference makes all the difference between fluffy and heavy. Queen K is a lovely lady who doesn't deserve to be gaslit.

I wish you all a happy new year!

Grammas' Weather Glass sure doesn't look too happy.
Looks like maybe its gonna rain. !?

Mine looks pretty much like that but blue....lol.

Fun FACT: The Okanagan is one of the coldest places in BC. Or at least it was on Christmas Day. While 79 of 102 stations rose above -3, none in the Okanagan did.

Are there major delays with mail sent from the West Kootenays? I had a gift card sent to me from Castlegar on around December 15 and it still has not arrived here.

I sent something to Vancouver on Dec 10, and it was delivered yesterday.

Snow in the forecast, but probably not much.

December is the snowiest month of the year, and November is snowier than February on average, so we are most of the way through winter.

I'll wait until Feb rolls around then before taking the old snow blower in for some love.

Decent amount of snow at Apex but like Big White-out, couldn't see where you're going. X-country in the trees is terrific though.

So those are the daily mean averages for each month? No surprise Kelowna airport has the coldest winters in the Okanagan. Where's the source for the Kelowna (downtown) stats?

KELOWNA PC BURNETTS NURSERY. Closed April 7th 2003.

Here are the average January temperatures in the Kelowna area.

NB: Lady tehma, Lethbridge is similar to Beaverdell (but warmer in the day and colder at night). Same latitude and elevation. Hotter summers in Lethbridge though.

Glacier one of my weather apps on my PC defaults to "Central City" and for the longest time I couldn't figure out what the heck that was. I did a bit of searching and it seems it gets it's info from downtown somewhere. It is accurate FWIW.

I've just never seen that as a location option before on any of the other weather apps, just "Kelowna" and "Okanagan Mission".

If it's giving you downtown data, it's going to be a private weather station, either from the radio station (AM 1150) or the Kelowna Yacht Club.
