Clear Skies!

Today was one of the very few sunny days in the month of April as well as our warmest day of the year at 18 C. The entire month has seen very few days with above normal temperatures. Wet snow was seen on two separate occasions the first being the morning of the 14th then again on the 19th. Both of those mornings we had lows of +2 C. On the 19th along with the wet snow we had some afternoon hail. April definitely brings interesting weather as we also seen our first thunderstorm on the 18th which was accompanied by hail.

After a couple of sunny pleasant days, clouds, showers and cooler temperatures will return by tomorrow and for the remainder of the week.

This month so far:
Highest temp.: 18 C (today)
Lowest temp.: 2 C (several days)

More than 20 cm of Snow

It started to snow last night and continued through the overnight hours with some moderate to strong winds. Total snowfall amounts were in the 20-30 cm range for the Chilliwack area. Not as much fell in Vancouver due to the rising temperatures earlier in the morning changing the snow into rain.

By late morning we had some brief sun breaks then light rain started to fall and the winds picked up bringing the temperatures from 0 C to 6 C in a couple of hours. With temperatures forecast as high as 11 C on Friday with rain, the snow should be washed away rather quickly.

Today
High: 6.1 C
Low: -1.8 C
