Re: Winter 2019/20 It's here
My wife is always cold, so its a fight at times as I am always hot.
Its the lack of humidity though that I hate, my throat and nose is hating it. 27% inside right now, I am boiling some water on the stove as doing so raises it for a bit, yesterday at the airport average humidity level was 31% which apparently broke a record.

Apart from a couple of weeks ago, with that early snowfall, it's just been wet here with the odd dusting. Almost like Bristol.
Plenty of time for it to change though.

Re: Winter 2019/20 It's here
It sounds like water in the amounts that our friends in Vancouver normally get...along with horrifically strong gusting winds...but no snow
It doesn’t sound like fun is heading in our direction though

It's -14 now, but tomorrow morning it will be -30, so I should revel in the -14 while I can. We had so much nice weather here I can't complain, and we need the cold if we're going to drive on the ice for fishing by Christmas.

Anything below -15c feels the same to me. In other words, brass monkey weather and stay indoors.

I instigated a 15/15 rule for cycling a few years ago. 15 minutes was the maximum cycling time at -15 and colder than -15 I wouldn't cycle.

Now with heat I always feel more of a difference 30C feels cool if you have spent a few days at 40C-45C
Fairly nice day in Vancouver 9C and some sun, rain coming back tomorrow.

Had a couple of days last week where no heating was needed. Same again today.
Put Christmas tree up. Not sure that's been up with ho heating before.

Re: Winter 2019/20 It's here
Really rather weird altogether Bristol...but I’m Not Complaining! It’s far too hot in the house for heating, and we went for a walk with the dog this afternoon and we have NO snow in the garden or park...it just feels odd...this is a mental fight that one readies oneself for...and now the fight has gone away

Rain, 5-6 degrees.
Not looking good for a snowy Christmas this year.

Re: Winter 2019/20 It's here
It's hard here to predict snow, every year varies, and some we get none or very little, I think 2008 was the only white Christmas I had in BC, and it did snow in 2012 when I was in Ontario, I don't think any of the other years had snow, but can't say for sure.
There were some heavy rain drops for a bit earlier, slushy not quite rain not quite snow, but melted on contact with anything.
It did snow in Squamish today though, about 55 minutes away from Vancouver.

Re: Winter 2019/20 It's here
Lots of snow here. Multiple road closures due to collisions between home and work. The power is still on though, it's quite unusual to have electricity supplied consistently this late in the year.

My parents booked flights instead. Thank God. The roads to Vancouver are a complete mess right now.
