2013/14 Southern Interior BC Thread...

[sparkletarte.]

Wednesday, 6 November Cloudy with 40 percent chance of flurries or rain showers. Low minus 1. High plus 5.

It does feel pretty late- frost not super killer (it is where I live but that's normal), leaves still on trees.

today is the powder voting day! who will win?!

sb- tell us when you are getting close, I'm sure someone will be around...

You're welcome

Anyone know what logging roads around Revelstoke are being plowed this winter?

Just added the BC & AB stations to my system... the station coverage is quite sparse compared to some US states, but none the less here it is. Data should update hourly and I hope to get the historic info in there soon. Data is as good as that reported by automatic stations.

BC & AB - Interior / Rockies

BC Coast

Thats cool but I tried clicking on my home weather station and your linky no worky.
Park Mountain north of Kelowna, this is the link I use: http://bcrfc.env.gov.bc.ca/data/asp/...asp_1f03p.html

Looks like it will be dumping this weekend. Perfect time to frame a cabin at 1400m.....

I think all the links are broken (for Int/Rockies anyway).

Oops .. should be fixed now. The links to the BC stations should work. Alberta stations are not done yet.

The image is just a more convenient way of seeing where snow fell - this tends to work better in places where the station network has a higher density (e.g. Colorado).
I haven't put a link on my frameset yet as the Canadian stations are still in beta testing for me.

[sontafari]

this is great. cant wait for the snow to come.

[vanisle]

Thanks for that Bliz
Island Stations work fine

Revy is getting hammered as I am typing this. SilverStar less so. Should keep piling up if the forecast pans out. What's it doing in the Southeast?

I drove from Vancouver to Heffley Lake (about 15 min. from and 1000 feet below Sun Peaks Village) on Friday night after the Lions game. It was raining all the way except it was snowing at the brake check area before the final decent to Kamloops.

At Heffley Lake at 3am it was 0* and raining and at 8:30am it was 0* and snowing. It snowed all day and is over 20cm deep and still snowing lightly at 10:30pm.

[sparkletarte.]

it rained super hard here last night, but there's snow in the hills around me. koot pass cam looks pretty darn white.

time to go outside and clean up the yard, the final warning has been issued!

[el hefe]

2ft up high around here! There were sleds out up at Silver star.

[powder fiend]

no one went skiing this weekend? I was out of town, and will be for the next two weekends which sucks.

are you building on crown land? I've been dreaming of building a cabin for awhile now, there's plenty of logging roads around here where you could get away with it.

The cabin is not on Crown Land, its totally legit.

If I was going to put something on crown land, i would just tow a trailer up and frame in a bit of a roof over it.

Alternatively, If you can score the mineral rights to a zone, you can build a structure legally. You would be advise to hang shovel and sluice box from one wall, so you can say your mining something other than powder.

[el hefe]

Very legit. You don't build a 2 story cabin with a hot tub and sauna if it might be torn down at any time.

[cmcrawfo]

Sadly, no matter how nice you make it..... its till going to be impossible to get strippers there.

[Lamothe]

been snowing all day in Revy, looking white

[el hefe]

Was just up at the Star, looks skiable. About 45cm in the village.

You've got mail.....GPS requirements required

[sparkletarte.]

got about 5c on the ground

sweet cabin hef!

[el hefe]

Ha, thanks. It will be locked up pretty tight.....
20cm more yesterday at the star, pretty sure it snowed all night as well.

Anyone know what is happening with the gorge road? Mustang was reporting 65cm on sunday and it has been snowing all week. Big dump coming tomorrow!!

[el hefe]

Gorge FSR is plowed for one more week, then sled only.

[Dr. Crank]

Thanks for checking into that, Hefe. Too bad; last winter was prime.
May still be a weekend of core shots, curious to know what the base is at up there currently.
