Too much rain and/or blizzards and/or flooding for this time of year.

I'm going to Santa Barbara next week, so expect glorious warm sunshine in Vancouver and record rainfall in SoCal if my travelling record stays consistent.

That my have been the case but not anymore:

Hwy 1 @ Evans Rd. in Chilliwack

Hwy 1 @ Cole Road between Abbotsford and Chilliwack

BTW, I did hear that Westwood Plateau in Coquitlam got some snow.

I took this through Abbotsford this morning around 7:40 AM.

Westbound Highway #1 approaching Whatcom Road.

nuts

a friend of mine who lives in new west is heading to the airport on her way to the UK right now and she just updated her facebook to say it was snowing in vancouver!

nothing but heavy rain here in burquitlam

Metro-One · #**548** Posted **Apr 14, 2011, 9:05 PM**

No snow in Maple Ridge, just the odd shower here and there, i really doubt there was any snow in Van as well.

But that is just ridiculous, it shows how terrible this spring has been so far. April temps and conditions have been more akin to mid February than April. Even the last few sunny days we had were much more akin to a nice day at the end of February, not a nice day in mid April.

As i posted on the canada section Kamloops is on track to have its coldest April since 1972 currently!

Calgary digs out of April snow storm

Metro-One · #**550** Posted **Apr 14, 2011, 9:56 PM**

And this is their second major show storm this month, and later this week has another possible snow event forecasted.

Er... lots of kids with bare legs (shorts and skirts) at my daughter's elementary school this morning in Steveston...

p78hub · #**552** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 12:03 AM**

SpongeG · #**553** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 1:58 AM**

Unfortunately there's a lot of stupid kids these days who seem to wear shorts in totally inappropriate weather. It was 4C in Richmond today, hardly shorts weather.

Metro-One · #**555** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 6:19 AM**

the funny thing is the exact opposite urks me as well, such as when we have a late heat wave at the end of September or early October where temps reach up to 25 to 28 (with a mild morning as well), and yet everyone seems dressed for mid winter with huge heavy coats and scarfs.

Bottom line is, sheep dress for the calender, intelligent humans dress for the weather

entheosfog · #**556** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 6:20 AM**

It was indeed snowing in Vancouver today, I was driving in it. Nothing stuck but the temps are pretty cool right now so it makes sense.

SpongeG · #**557** Posted **Apr 15, 2011, 6:57 AM**

my friend works in an office at robson and burrard and he saw snow - the first time in his life he has ever seen snow - he was quite excited

trofirhen · #**558** Posted **May 2, 2011, 6:27 PM**

Due, I would think, to the cold Nina winter you've been having in Vancouver, I notice in pictures that many larger tress are still without leaves! .... even if the blossoms are out.

Here, after the warmest April in 50 years, all trees in in full summer green, although normal spring flowers are still evident.

SpikePhanta · #**559** Posted **May 2, 2011, 7:05 PM**

Apparently it's tied for coldest April.
