when the family grows up around a Weather Need the offspring may turn out to also be weather nerds. Official snow measurement at Carleton in Ottawa. Lol. 6 cm of snow last night #snow #ottawa

Today's sunset over Arbutus Ridge in #portalberni #nuuchanulth #tseshaht :TseshahtFN: #hupacasath :hupacasath: Only 20 or so more days of it moving down the ridge line.... (the plume is mostly steam from the paper mill) #sunset #today #winter

Watch out North Island friends! Snow and freezing rain is affecting the north island and Tahsis/Gold River areas! #bcstorm #bcsnow #goldriver #campbellriver #porthardy

The sky isn't quite dark enough to see if there are auroras yet, but the fucking Starlinks are easy to see. Due to the Starlink main orbital shell configuration, there is almost always a Starlink or two visible crawling across the sky at the same elevation as the North Star (lots more in other […]

As of 11:30 we are at high tide which was predicted to be 3.75m but actual water level is 3.97m. The water level actually peaked an hour ago at just over 4 metres... 40 cm higher than forecast, so there has been a lot of water in #PortAlberni most of the […] [Original post on socialbc.ca]

thunderstorm! ⛈️ #portalberni #bcstorm

This is where the eye of the hurricane is hitting right now. Saint Elizabeth/Black River Jamaica (2019). They are actually in the eye. It is probably calm but covered in water God I wonder what it looks like. #hurricane #melissa #jamaica #crocodile #cat5

We are getting rain today. But Jamaica is getting one of the most powerful storms ever. Hoping for the best for them!! #hurricane #jamaica #cat5

Comet Lemmon might be visible tonigjt if you get away from the fog near the harbour! It is visible in the SW sky this weekend! It is just obscured by the fog bank at AWHQ. Jupiter is bisible there, the comet is to the right in the cloud! If you head up a […] [Original post on socialbc.ca]

Community is when you help each other out... including businesses helping other businesses in a time of need. One of our breweries in #portalberni Dog Mountain Brewing, suffered a fire to a home they owned and used as an office and storage beside their main location (which is unharmed). Twin […]

@alberniweather I was jolted.

Rumbler under SaltsSpring Island in the past 15min. Anyone feel it? I didn’t feel it but it definitely registered on the Alberniweather Shake sensor! USGS: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/uw62196992/executive #earthquake #vancouverisland #portalberni #nanaimo #victoria #yyj #yvr

First frost! Currently -0.1°C Just off the low of -0.2°C as the sun rises over our fair city. #thanksgiving #portalberni #wxtooter

Some heavy rain in the area and lightning over the Strait but it should start to taper off and dry up soon. Sunny tomorrow! #thanksgiving #portalberni #weather #wxtooter

not too shabby considering the forecast! Happy Thanksgiving from #portalberni! 🦃 🌤️

21.3mm and counting to start October! 🌧️ ☔️ #portalberni #bcstorm

The Islandweather stations will LIVE ON!? #weather #wxtooter #bcstorm #andrewweaver #science #data https://www.albernivalleynews.com/news/future-of-vancouver-islands-school-based-weather-system-hangs-in-limbo-8277327

A proper rain ☔️

Fall is here. The first real storm of the season is on Vancouver Island. It’s just 13°C and raining. 🌧️ And it feels so good. #portalberni #bcstorm #wxtoot

The campfire ban has been lifted. But the forests are still very dry and Port Alberni still has a Moderate to High Fire Danger rating (as does most of southern Vancouver Island. Please continue to be safe and smart out there! #bcwildfire #bcstorm #fall

@alberniweather Oh, I was also going to say that rain across the island from say Tofino to Parksville is strongly orographically forced. I'm sure Port Alberni patterns are influenced to a large degree in this way.

@alberniweather Much of what you write is reasonable but be careful about using recollections to think about what was. Anecdotal evidence is absolutely unreliable. Our summers are dry because of large scale circulation effects. The jet stream moves north in the summer (and weakens) and we tend […]

1/n Really interesting Post on The Climate Brink from Dr. Kevin Trenberth. TIL: "Weather systems reach out and gather in moisture typically from over a distance about four times (3 to 5) the diameter of the precipitating area.” Handy guide! But there is a paragraph in particular that […]

☀️ = 🌚
