WOW!

Some of Santa's reindeer were a little hungry, not much grass at the North Pole. These Roosevelt Elk came onto my sister's property during the recent snowfall. She lives 50 km north of Victoria. We had 3 cm of now which was gone in a few hours, she got more and it lasted a couple of days. You don't often see these elk. I think this is just the second time they've come down onto her property.

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!

Here's the weather forecast for Victoria. The normal values for this time is a Max of 8, a Min of 3 and 55 mm of rain.

Indeed.

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!).

Opps.

Predictions for Christmas Day weather down under.



Temps are in °C (of course)

Perth looks good to me.
It's -6 down here in the balmy south of the UK, but as Janet says, warmer, rainy weather is approaching at last.

Save some good weather for me in May and June 2003 please.

Done.

Rain. Lots. But 6C!

A few flakes of snow every so often here, but they melt when they hit the ground. 1.7C.
