Yeah, I also found that case quite unreasonable on their side considering the situation.

I've never seen it get that dark during the day - absolutely torrential rainfall right now. Looks like thunder/lightning could happen as well.

And then sunshine and mid-teens

Nice turnaround I would say!

Summer temperatures in Mid-April are just beautiful.

Some pretty weird weather these days. There have been more than a few days now in the last month where we've gotten some real heavy, movie rain, soaked-in-one-minute downpours. And this morning, thunder!

Klazu · #**669** Posted **Jun 16, 2016, 4:08 AM**

Yeah, quite an on/off weather with everything in between during a day.

It is actually quite fun to observe the isolated heavy rains moving across the Lower Mainland from our penthouse. As we can see everything from Lougheed to Surrey to White Rock to Richmond to Downtown and all the way to North Vancouver and even Brentwood (some 300 degrees!), we have it easy to predict if it will be raining where and when. Sometimes rain clouds hang so low that they pass through our tower.

A weather geek's paradise.

It's been pretty weird here in Paris, too: all of France, in fact. Rains and flooding, causing $$$ damage. Always still very changeable, sunny one moment, pouring the next.
... as an afterthought, it surprisesme a little that youy're surprised by morning thunfer there. In earlier years, I often recall thunder and a blast of hail in March, signalling spring, lightning and rainsqualls in April, then sometimes heat and thunder in May.

Heads up if you haven't been following the news. We're about to get walloped by a series of low pressure monsters.

I was looking at some of the forecasts and the centre of the Saturday storm could go as low as 955 mbar. That's tropical hurricane territory, minus the wind strength.

Pinion · #**672** Posted **Oct 12, 2016, 8:51 PM**

Yay, looking forward to my usual giant headache.

Klazu · #**673** Posted **Oct 13, 2016, 5:04 AM**

Will get windy up here... Interesting days ahead.

Klazu · #**674** Posted **Oct 15, 2016, 12:33 AM**

So when is the storm going to peak? It is pretty damn wind up here already. Had to move all patio furniture in safety for the first time while living in here...

How terrible

Third and biggest storm to hit tomorrow night and it's likely going to be a doozy. A lot of comparisons being thrown around to the Dec 2006 windstorm. Stay safe everyone.

Klazu · #**676** Posted **Oct 15, 2016, 1:12 AM**

Damn, I hope Stanley Park won't see same destruction as at that time.

I will surely take some video of how crazy it will be.

mcminsen · #**677** Posted **Oct 15, 2016, 7:28 AM**

I posted some storm pics in the Canada forum here.

On Friday afternoon, I saw a very large diameter boulevard tree that had fallen over a house on Valley Drive, roughly around 20th/21st going from memory. The house was one of the vintage monster houses built back in the 80s.

Klazu · #**679** Posted **Oct 16, 2016, 12:43 AM**

Dying light ahead of the big storm.

It seems that Burnaby was the epicenter of the snowstorm today. I chose to walk to work which was a good decision as no buses could get up or down from Metrotown. So many cars stuck in snow along the way and many crashes. Same when heading back home this afternoon, but Translink had got some of the bus lines running.

Ice bombs experienced on Alex Fraser Bridge. Port Mann Bridge seem to have been okay, but the whole Highway 1 was packed all day. Google Maps bright red all day. Surprisingly North Shore seem to have be dealing with the snow very well.

There is some 20cm of snow accumulated on our patio from the day, so quite a heavy snowfall during the day.
