The Elk are majestic and the pictures of flooding in NSW is surreal. To see the posts one right after the other is an odd sense, humbling. Thank you both.
The first wave of the Atmospheric River showed up and our unofficial rain gauge measured 1.25 inches (just over 3 cm). I understand there was more northerly in the mountains (in snow.) Look out East Coast USA!
The BC and Washington forecasters seem to disagree in their forecasts for this coming weekend. They are saying no precipitation for Victoria, but rain or snow for Seattle on this side of Puget Sound.

-7C this morning and ice on the inside of one window! It's double-glazed but in a north facing room and I didn't have the heating on in there yesterday.
We're having a cold snap in the UK at the moment. Here it's mostly been going down to about -4C and up to about 1C in the sunny weather. Except last weekend when it clouded over and the air temp was above freezing for a couple of days but, as the ground was still frozen, the rain and sleet made the roads and pavements 'interesting'.
It's due to start warming up from tomorrow to more normal temps (min about 2C, max about 8C), except Monday when a max of 13C is forecast (which wouldn't be that bad for a summer day!).
We have a light dusting of snow on the ground, and it's -4.4. This is what's on the weather menu for the next two days:
Today Periods of light snow. Wind northeast 20 km/h gusting to 40. High minus 4. Wind
chill near minus 13.
Tonight Periods of light snow changing to snow at times heavy and local blowing snow
this evening. Amount 10 cm. Wind northeast 20 km/h gusting to 40. Temperature
