Record highs all over BC today, 15 to 18 C widespread. We have lost about 2/3 of our snow pack in the past week due to warm temperatures and rain. 

It's probably a good sign for your winter hopes, as long as warmth goes north more than east. 

Pebble Beach golf this weekend faces prospects of local hail showers, could be an interesting watch for weather rather than golf. 

On the other hand it was record warm in BC around this date in 1998 too.

The ultimate low bar for sunshine hours was January 1953 on what used to be called the Queen Charlotte Islands west of BC (nowadays it's haida gwaii) ... zero sunshine. So it can happen (without polar night). 

It  is also very cloudy out west recently, we got a few minutes of sun yesterday, first time in weeks. I blame Pacific Ocean (cause of all our problems). 

It has been one of the main culprits of our recent lousy winters. Wish we could drain it like a swimming pool.

If you want to build an island 150 miles or so SE of here you can probably enjoy it every time we have strong NW wind CAA in the winter. That’s been rare though. 

That's why we see huge bands of snow over the ocean on a cold sunny winter's day all the time.  It's all being wasted on the fish lol.

I'd be happy getting this every other day (with a day of sunshine in between) and forget all about big storms and arctic cold shots and cutters and whatever else misery happens here.

 

Agree. I'll take a dozen of minor events rather than just one blockbuster storm and that's it for the season.

Just enough to look pretty outside but doesn't disrupt travel. Best of both worlds, minus the brine and road salt.

More clouds. How many days since we’ve seen the sun? 10? Has to be a record!

Looks like the sun won't come out until Friday afternoon now.

Plain cloudy or plain rainy days are just awful, if we just had light snow all day and even if we just a light coating on everything, it'd be wonderful.

Yep, I can do without the plain cloudy days and the plain rainy days, if we just had light snow every other day and a light coating on everything, it would be a lot more cheerful around here.
