Long range forcast S. B.C.
Long range for cast has been pretty good. Seems out by 1-2wk.s, which is not too uncommon. The forcasted pattern is what I use, then I combine full moon cycle to fit the pattern. In my experiance I find that the wk of the full moon (moon full mid wk) is when I expect a greater weather change.
This I always consider along with TOFA. This has severed me well in planning.
Those who expect accurate daily predictions 3 months advance are not being sensible. I find the forcast pattern far more useful than any local 2wk. Forcast . Even local short range daily forcast can be fickle, but they too are still in my tool kit. Thank you TOFA

What the last guy said.
Jan 9-14 forecast
"Jan 9-14 Rainy periods, turning mild coast" Lol! Waaaay off base!! Hit with a huge blizzard in the Fraser valley, Chilliwack hit hard. Plus strong Arctic cold air mass settling in the valley and coast!! We're digging out of this snow, highways closed, accidents everywhere! How do you do your forecasts? On a dartboard??
Temperature and rainfall
For S.Smith, rheumatism pains due to wet weather. Montreal is dry but southern BC is wet.
I always check your long range forecast for long term planning. Hope next year and every year after that, BC
will be spared forest fires, so tragic.
weather and pain
Here on the coast of B.C., Canada the weather from November to March really affects my back and other parts of my body. I have all over back pain , facial pain - sinus pain - that type of thing. Where when I lived in Montreal. Quebec I never had any of these pains.
What could be the major factor here in B.C. that results in my experiencing so much pain?
The Best Year In History
Does anyone know when the best year in food production was in British Columbian history? I would very much appreciate this information. Thanks!
Below normal temperature and
Below normal temperature and above normal precipitation in Vancouver equals BELOW NORMAL SNOWFALL?! Come on!
Cold and wet
Yes I thought the colder but less snow strange until I read the whole report. Average is colder but April and may much warmer with rain then not snow so over the period of the forecast it is colder but for two heavy precipitation months much warmer. I find these long term forecasts good for general trends but not daily forecast
Jan 2020 guess
Hi there,
You seem educated on the predictions for Southern BC as much as one can have any confidence in predictions. That said, what is your guesstimate percentage on at least decent conditions for mid-January cat skiing in Southern BC? Favorable enough to commit? Thanks!
Hi
I believe the mountains near Vancouver such as Whistler BC could have above average snowfall this upcoming winter. Im confused why they predicted Vancouver to be colder than normal with above average precipitation but still have below normal snowfall. Also, I dont think it will be colder than normal for Southern BC because the pacific ocean seems very warm which will influence the west coast causing warmer than average temps and above normal precipitation. I was hoping for a cold winter but climate change is taking that away from me. Anyway, I hope this helped. This was just my opinions on the winter forecast.
