I am sure that guy is gloating now, sipping a pina colada from his porch.

And the flamingos are placidly wading through the shallow marshlands, keeping a wary eye out for the alligators, while parrots perch overhead in the palm trees waving gently under a light tropical breeze.

I hear Maple Creek is well known for their pina coladas

All jokes aside, that is crazy to be over 20 on January 30th.

The first 20 degree day race is already over!

Almost like a summer day in Tofino.

That looks like a gorgeous “winter” day in Tofino!

-7C with a wind chill of -14 and sunny. Colder but the sun was nice so no complaints.

Low of -10C (wind chill of -18) this morning.

The warmspot was Maple Creek, SK at 21.1C. Just massacre over other frigid Canadian cities.
All kidding aside, insane temperature for January. First 20C of the year already achieved, next step 25C. Looks like it a all-time January high for them.

Not only it is an all-time high for them but it is the warmest January temperature ever recorded in Canada outside of Ontario.
For the curious, all-time January high for Canada was in Niagara Falls on Jan 26, 1950 at 22.2C.

Warmest low was White Rock, BC at 11.4C.
West Vancouver had its low of 11.4C yesterday confirmed. New highest one this year.

It did seem a bit warm today.

35 temperature records washed away in B.C. in wake of atmospheric river

By Kathy Michaels Global News

An atmospheric river warmed parts of B.C. and washed away dozens of temperature records, some of which were nearly a century old.

Throughout Monday, Environment Canada reported that a warm airmass broke 35 daily temperature records, some of which fell by a margin of nearly 30 per cent.

...

In Abbotsford, the new daily high-temperature record for Jan. 29 is now 18.2 C, after Monday’s high broke a record of 15.6 C set in 1960.

Richmond saw a new record of 14.4 C, breaking a 1940 record of 13.3 C. Similarly, in Vancouver, it was 14.3 C Monday, breaking a record of 13.3 C set in 1940.

West Vancouver saw mercury rise to 17.3 C, breaking a record of 14 C set in 1998.

Very pleasant day. Mostly dry with a mix of sun and cloud.

Tuesday's high at Vancouver Harbour was 13 C, the low was 10 C.

Nice stuff, mcminsen. It looks like both sides of the Pacific are heating up. It was a pretty warm 28c in Kaohsiung today. The humidity was high at 70%, so it felt a bit warmer than that.

Still, even when it warms up like this, people in the south will still wear their winter jackets, and even scarves. Northern Taiwanese are a fair bit hardier, and will break out the short sleeve shirts if it goes above 20c in the winter.

It is raining again, we've had 5mm already and expect another 5 this afternoon. The low was 1.5. It hasn't dropped below freezing in 6 days, I wonder what the January record is?

And I just saw another in the Etobicoke creek while on the train.

A cold -9C and sunny in Moncton at 11 AM.

[SignalHillHiker]

It's a nice enough evening. Still way too much snow around.

[Airboy]

Drove Saskatoon to Edmonton yesterday afternoon. Even though Saskatoon has more snow than Edmonton, the melt rate yesterday will make that moot. Lots of water running down the roads as we drove out. By Lloydminster very little snow in the fields and by Edmonton only north facing hills had snow. My yard is almost devoid of Snow. Most slews (Ponds) had water on the ice.

+ 14c in Kamloops today or + 57F with sprinkles. ( the wet ones not candy )

[megadude]

For some reason there was a narrow band of ice chunks where the lake meets the basin. And cool that the only meeting room available for our coworker’s wedding celebration was the one that overlooks Love Park.

[RHINO]

Where is that?

[megadude]

Around Queen's Quay, Downtown TO. With Toronto Islands in the distance. Because of those islands, it creates a natural harbour, which allows for it to freeze most years. I think it's safe to say it won't be freezing this year so nobody will be illegally skating across like many do, including my old coworker who broke his elbow when hitting a rut while skating backwards.

Most school boards in the GTA, and I don't know where else, are having kids stay home on April 8th, which is when the solar eclipse is. So the already scheduled PA/PD day later in April is being switched to the 8th.

The eclipse will be occurring from 2 to 4:30, which is when kids are being picked up. If it was happening in the middle of the school day they'd just keep them inside.

Is the time range something that is known years or decades in advance? They must have known this past summer what time it would be happening, no? If so, maybe for now on they'll take this into consideration before planning the school year.

0C (wind chill of -3) and overcast.

Low of -8C (wind chill of -13) last night.

The warmspot was Irvine and Cardston, AB at 18.0C. This mild spell out West is incredible. Too bad we won't get anything from it.

Warmest low was Sheringham, BC at 11.0C.
