Okay, I was just about to ask what kind of balling clear glass garage you had as there was an obvious glass wall between the car and the house in the background. That was what tipped me off. :D Also the car seemed a bit "lacking" in detail compared to the real thing. Nice pic though. Are those styrofoam bits?

btw for all you non-pilots out there METARs aren't actually that hard to read. I'm sure there's a website somewhere that can decipher them.

Quote:

METAR CYVR 140100Z 10005KT 12SM SCT016 OVC078 00/M01 A2985 RMK SC3AC5
SLP109=
METARs provide WAY more info than the Weather Network. The reason why they don't bother though is because most people only care about what's going on at ground level. It's been a while since I last read one, but it's something like this. Brings back memories. :D Anyone who's done flight training should be able to provide more information.

METAR
CYVR = IATA code for Vancouver International (C = Canada obviously)
140100Z = 14 (December), 0100 Zulu = 0100GMT = around 1500 or 3pm
10005KT = winds inbound from 100deg True (ie winds heading in a WNW direction, "from" the 100deg mark on a compass rose), 5 knots.
12SM = 12 Statute Miles visibility (1 statute mile = 1.609km = 5280ft)
SCT016 OVC078 = Clouds SCaTtered (takes up 3-4/8 of sky) above 1600ft, OVerCast (8/8 of sky) above 7800ft
00/M01 = Temperature 0C, Dew point -1C. M = minus.
A2985 = altimeter set to 29.85" mercury (standard pressure is 29.92" Hg at sea level) - used to calibrate the altimeter on the plane
RMK = remark
SC3AC5 = I think it has to do with what's coming down from the sky at the moment of the report but can't remember.

hehe..actually no..the white stuff is the real stuff as in snow. i suppose if i thought it out a bit more with a different background, it might've passed as the real thing lol.

snow has just started to fall at SFU. meteorologists say that snowfall in the lower mainland will start at 5. safe driving!

That's the type of cloud and how many oktas of the sky its covering, if I am not mistaken.
ie. Stratocumulus covering 3/8 oktas and Altocumulus covering5/8 oktas
