lateralus Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Wind chill is a great way to exaggerate the cold. Also it's not very accurate and misleading. One area could be -10º added due to wind chill while another area might only be -2 or 3º. Oh and if the wind chill is really bothering you...don't stand in the wind.

D-Money Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 It was -29 on my way to work here in Calgary, -37 with wind chill. So for all you complainers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbanator Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 It was -29 on my way to work here in Calgary, -37 with wind chill. So for all you complainers... It's pretty well recognized that the dry cold of Calgary and further east is not nearly as "cold" as the wet cold that we face here. You can pretty much do anything in the dry cold, so please. Here in Nanaimo we might get 2-4 cms again tomorrow. I surely hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 It was -29 on my way to work here in Calgary, -37 with wind chill. So for all you complainers... The last time I flew into Calgary on business and visiting a friend, it was mid-January...and it was -35 or something stupid like that....as soon as I walked outside from the terminal....I swear to Darwin, my nostrils immediately froze up.....it was or at least felt like, a scene out of 'Day After Tomorrow'. We're talking, you breathe in and that's it....no more breathing in from that orrifice for awhile. Man....you guys got some kinda cold out there. It sucks! lol.

Electro Rock Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 It was -29 on my way to work here in Calgary, -37 with wind chill. So for all you complainers... That's just dry cold though, super wet cold like we've got is a different thing, it goes right through whatever you're wearing. I've felt colder at -15 in Vancouver than I did at -50 in the prairies, wearing the same winter gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donky Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Some are saying snow back in the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday but others are saying Rain. Weather Network is still claiming it is going to warm up ....but looking at their maps and satellite images it appears that our weather is still coming from the north for some time yet....so I'm not buying it.

KamikazeWatermelon Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 It should warm up by Sat. Weather Network says the temps will probably not go back down in the near future. YAY! No more ski jacket/defrosting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

>you Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Time to break some records: Vancouver has a chance to break a 25-year-old cold-weather record on Tuesday by a chilly four degrees. Environment Canada forecaster Gary Dickinson predicts a daytime high of -6° C on Tuesday, which would smash the record -1.9° C high on Nov. 23, 1985 by more than four degrees. “There is an arctic ridge of high pressure over the entire province. Temperatures are chilly and below normal,” he said Monday. Dickinson said conditions are expected to remain cool until warmer temperatures arrive on Thursday night, bringing rain. Vancouver is expected to reach a high of -2° C on Monday, which is unseasonably cold, but a lot more agreeable than other places in the country. It was a frigid -26° C in Fort Nelson on Monday; in Edmonton, site of Sunday’s Grey Cup game, it was -25° C. http://www.theprovince.com/technology/cold+record+breaker+Tuesday/3867383/story.html#ixzz1638XAqYu it sure does depress me that i moved from somewhere where the record cold was -2 to a place where it is -40 for a good portion of winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 WOCN11 CWVR 232348 Special weather statement Issued for coastal British Columbia by Environment Canada at 3:48 PM PST Tuesday 23 November 2010. Special weather statement for Widespread snowfall on the south coast Thursday. Regions affected Metro Vancouver Greater Victoria Fraser Valley Howe Sound Whistler Sunshine Coast Southern Gulf Islands East Vancouver Island West Vancouver Island Inland Vancouver Island Synopsis A major snowfall on Thursday will mark the transition to milder, wetter weather conditions on the south coast and likely cause Major transportation challenges. Winds in the upper atmosphere that have been driving cold Arctic air southward across the province will begin shifting to the west tomorrow. Milder, wetter pacific air will slide overtop the cold, dense Arctic air near the ground, causing a widespread snowfall Thursday. The heaviest snow accumulations are likely in areas where Arctic air remains trapped or the Arctic air persists due to northeast outflowing winds from the interior. These areas include inland sections of Vancouver Island, the Fraser Valley, Howe Sound and Whistler. There is also a slight risk of freezing rain in these same regions. Widespread snowfalls often follow Arctic outbreaks and may produce a wide range of snowfall accumulations due to local influences and proximity to the path of warm pacific air. These and other factors affect the timing of the transition to rain, which is critical in determining how much snow falls. In this case it is expected that snow will change to rain late in the day over much of Vancouver Island. Over the Lower Mainland the transition to rain will occur Thursday evening and over the inland valleys the transition to rain may be delayed until early Friday morning. At this point it is expected that Thursday's storm will produce at least 10 centimetres of snowfall accumulation over most regions. Weather warnings with detailed forecast amounts and timing will likely be issued on Wednesday morning. Updates and further information This statement will be updated within 12 hours if necessary or replaced by a weather warning. The public is advised to closely follow the forecasts and warnings issued by Environment Canada.

Umm. -4C wet cold plus -15Cwind chill is a lot better/less cold than a -25C dry cold plus -45C wind chill. Never gone to Calgary in the winter, eh?
