Thank god after Tuesday it's rain and the temps go way up so tomorrow into Tuesday morning could be the worst we see here in Vancouver. I feel for the people living in Fraser Valley.

you don't have to be a douche and post up the METAR/TAF information. If your going to post it up use plain language. Most people on RS don't speak aviation.

Plus weather data is provided by Environment Canada for Nav Canada, which is updated every hour.

^lmao that douche thinks he is the shit because he knows how to read METAR/TAFs

what a douche for posted METAR/TAFs.. why dont you bring up the wet bulb and dry bulb temp or the dew point as well... what a tool

yeah, cause reading the METAR/FAF is common sense or something we learn from frds, fam members or school!

and because the general public needs up-to-minute weather forecast for their daily routines:rolleyes:

It's lightly snowing in Richmond again.

Just came back from SFU. When I was going up there someone in a huge ass SUV with summer tires was sliding back down the hill near the bottom of the parking lots. I had to throw it in reverse to avoid them hitting me. Then some douchebag comes up behind me and starts honking to move foreward...lol

Then on the way down some guy in a Camry was doing 110+ from the lots to the intersection with the road covered in slush/snow.

Gotta love the "i'll ignore the snow and pretend it is a hot summer day" driving method lots of people use.

Was snowing a bit on the way, but nothing major.

^ people here fail at driving in the rain, snow is 10000x worse for those type of drivers.

my car was sliding in the snow going downhill with a car in front of me earlier, had to swerve to the side to hit the curb

a lot of morons on the street, especially tucks and suv

and it's only about 1cm of snow?
must be REAL icy
holy shit

all the snow that melted on my car quickly turned into ice. i'm sure there's tons of black ice on the streets tonight.

this is why i hate snow

snow melts = water + freezing temps = ice + useless drivers = accidents everywhere

cold just watching that

Coldest I've been in was -40C, -50C with windchill. That was daytime, too.

Coldest night-time was -44C but no windchill.

It's an interesting sensation, breathing in through your nose, and your nose freezes shut.

Two bags of sand check, rwd check, snow tires check, more control when i slide check. Already been out for a couple runs. Gonna be fun

Thanks for posting that, the abbotsford metar was pretty funny today.
METAR/TAF mostly used by pilots, i think, for flight planning
Don't be ignorant, if you can read it then it's much more informative than what you get from "theweathernetwork" and what not.

And the most recent dewpoint for that metar was 1C

i'd like to experience -40C + sometime just to see how cold it really is, never experienced that kind of cold before

Your one those guys who is in there 1st yr med school and starts using med terms in front of your friends and thinking your the hottest shit on the block.

anyone wanna post up a short tutorial on how to read this METAR/TAF stuff? I wouldn't mind learning seeing as how WeatherNetwork is full of fucking shit.

You can actually get the translated METAR on the navcanada website in "plain" language. Here's the link:

THE PLOW KING LIVES!

no new snow this morning, just a lot of ice on the inner streets.

last night they said 10-20cm but seems like they've settled on 15cm

i dont think we'll get more then 5cm of snow tonight. They predicted 5cm saturday night, 5cm sunday night then 10 - 15 cm monday. We've got like what? 3cm at most?
