Surveyed #windstorm damage in #HopeBC & #Coquihalla Canyon from 11th March. Extensive tree blowdowns seem to support the recorded 139km/h (86mph) gust at #YHE, tho asking ECCC. Either way, this was a significant wind event locals won’t soon forget.

#PortCoquitlam’s Hyde Creek — normally, but a trickle, moving fast this afternoon at 550p PT | 18 March
The view from where it crosses under Lincoln Avenue — these creeks respond very quickly to heavy rain and meltwater.

A mainly sunny but cool day in Metro #Vancouver… Had to go check out the snow on the North Shore mountains before the imminent change to mild southwesterly flow of Hawaiian origin. A big melt is coming!

After rain & winds over 100 km, what do we have in downtown #HopeBC at 4 AM this Friday morning -- SNOW ❄️! Enough to track a cat, or a bunny, or make our doggie pee very quickly and then head right back inside! Still snowing as I post this. @yvrwxwatcher.bsky.social #BCstorm #BCstormwatch #YHEwx

It isn’t a snow chase day without some slow mo snow — earlier today at Mundy Park in Coquitlam BC. The area seemingly one of the hardest hit with today’s weather event.

The difference 300m / 1000ft and a 5 minute drive make in the City of Coquitlam, a suburb of Vancouver BC — one of the things that makes this area unique is our microclimates!

Snow keeps coming down here at Westwood Plateau in Coquitlam BC.
Went out & remeasured, finding accumulations near 15cm. People w/ large snow piles now at the end of their driveways. Easily could’ve justified a warning up here. 1755h PT

Didn’t think I’d get a real snow look-live in this year… But hello from 350m in elevation at Westwood Plateau in Coquitlam BC, about 20 km northeast of downtown Vancouver as the crow flies!
Apparently @brad604.bsky.social measured higher.
