Cold Temperatures, Vancouver, BC, December 4, 2009

There is a Special Weather Statement
out for Vancouver tonight.
The wind is making it cold.
I think we are having it
luckier than the rest of
Canada right now.
Much of the country is
under Winter Storm Warnings.Lots of snow and below zero temperatures for them.
I honestly can't figure out
all the different levels of warnings,
statements, issues and advisories.
A statement is not a warning,
but something to take notice of.
An advisory is more important than a statement.
Then there's "weather watches"
thrown into the bunch to
really confuse us further.
For me, its a 3 layer
day. Two layers for warmth
and one layer to keep the wind off.
I wonder if that falls under a watch, statement
or warning?

Rainfall Warning in British Columbia, Canada, October 17, 2009

A rainfall warning was issued
Saturday October 17, 2009
for Vancouver, BC, Canada.
A Pacific frontal system
is moving across the area.
Its grey and dismal today
as well, but Newfoundland
is a mess.
I'll take the rain any day over snow.
I have my snow shovel ready, though.
After last years winter in British Columbia,
I am going to be better prepared.
